Definition and Representation of Differential Equations

• Differential equations involve derivatives and unknown functions.
• They represent the relationship between a function and its derivatives.
• General form of a differential equation is: F(x, y, y', y'', ...) = 0
• Order of a differential equation is the highest order of derivative present.
• Solution of a differential equation is a function that satisfies the equation.

Types of Differential Equations

1. Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs)
   • Involve only one independent variable.
   • Example: dy/dx = f(x, y)

2. Partial Differential Equations (PDEs)
   • Involve multiple independent variables.

3. Linear Differential Equations
   • Can be expressed in the form L(y) = F(x) where L is a linear operator.

Importance and Applications of Differential Equations

• Differential equations are fundamental in modeling various real-world phenomena.

• Essential for understanding and predicting the behavior of dynamic systems.

Overview of the Gudermannian Function

• The Gudermannian function is a mathematical function that relates an angle to a hyperbolic function.
• Defined as: gd(x) = 2 * arctan(e^x) - π/2
• Symmetric about the line y = π/4
• Useful in solving differential equations involving trigonometric and exponential functions.

Properties of the Gudermannian Function

• Continuous and smooth for all real values of x.
• Range: -π/2 to π/2
• Inverse of the Gudermannian function is the sinh function.
