I Problem with integrating the differential equation more than once
Starting from equation \frac{dy}{dx}=\int^x_0 \varphi(t)dt we can write dy=dx\int^x_0 \varphi(t)dt Now I can integrate it \int^{y(x)}_{y(0)}dt=\int^x_0dx'\int^x_0\varphi(t)dt Is this correct? Or I should write it as \int^{y(x)}_{y(0)}dt=\int^x_0dx'\int^{x'}_0\varphi(t)dt Best wishes in new year...- LagrangeEuler
