I mean is it possible? would it be a problem?
Matterwave said:Yes. The most basic differential equations are the ones which you can just integrate to get the answer. If you didn't finish integral calculus, it will be very hard for you to understand those calculations.
As integration is the inverse of differentiation, there's really no way to rigorously study differential equations without understanding integrals.
thedailyshoe said:hey but i already finished differential calculus last sem and my grades were beautiful.. can't it help with differential equations? i mean both are "differential" so arent they similar?
Yes, it is possible to study differential equations without completing integral calculus. However, having a strong understanding of integral calculus can greatly aid in understanding and solving differential equations.
In most cases, yes, integral calculus is a prerequisite for studying differential equations. Many concepts in differential equations build upon those in integral calculus.
It is not recommended to skip integral calculus if you want to have a thorough understanding of differential equations. However, if you have a basic understanding of integral calculus, you may be able to grasp some concepts in differential equations.
While it is technically possible to learn and understand some aspects of differential equations without knowing integral calculus, it is not recommended. Integral calculus is an essential tool for solving and understanding differential equations.
Having a strong foundation in integral calculus is crucial for studying differential equations. Many concepts and techniques in differential equations rely heavily on integral calculus, and without a strong foundation, it can be difficult to fully understand and solve differential equations.
