    Can you explain the theory behind separable differential equations?

    Thanks, Voko. That's exactly what I was looking for. Now I just need to refresh myself on the mechanics of the substitution rule... HallsofIvy, I think you found where the hole in my knowledge is. Both the chain rule and the substitution rule (for integration) are something I've kind of...

    Can you explain the theory behind separable differential equations?
