Solving a Nonlinear First-Order IVP – Zill 1.2.2 🧠✨
“A problem well stated is a problem half solved.” — Charles Kettering
Welcome to the second post in my engineering math problem-solving series!
This time, we’re tackling Problem 1.2.2 from Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Dennis Zill—a classic for math and engineering majors.
In this problem, we’re asked to find the particular solution to a first-order nonlinear differential equation of the form:
Let’s work through it step by step and verify everything analytically.
