i,m stuck into solving this differential equation:

\frac{dy}{dx}f(y)=1 i,m trying to find an integrand factor but don,t know what to chose to solve it someone could help?..thanks...

EDIT:i,m interested in getting y=y(x) not x=x(y)

Let F(y) be an anti-derivative of f(y), i.e F'(y)=f(y).
Hence, it follows that:

F(y)=x+C, where C is an integration constant.

Locally, F should be invertible, i.e, you could in principle solve for y(x)
 
errr...have you considered whether it's separable?
 
There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order.

Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
