B A differential equation, or an identity?
This is quite literally a showerthought; a differential equation is a statement that holds for all ##x## within a specified domain, e.g. ##f''(x) + 5f'(x) + 6f(x) = 0##. So why is it called a differential equation, and not a differential identity? Perhaps because it only holds for a specific set...- etotheipi

Solving an exact differential equation
I let ##M = 4xy + 1## and ##N = 2x^2 + \cos{(y)}##.
