I'm currently taking a symmetry analysis course. It is really interesting. I would recommend it to any math major or anyone interested in ODE's and PDE'S. I am enjoying it very much.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
is that anything like that "differential galois theory" where you look st symmetries in differential equations?
 
I almost feel sorry that ever since Emmy Noether discovered the theorem in 1918,we physicists like to take a look at symmetries related to physical phenomena (and Lagrange & Hamilton actions & functions),and not to symmetries of PDE-s... :rolleyes: :-p

Would you kindly briefly explain what this is? I'm interested in differential equations.

Thanks,

This course is symmetry of PDE's

Sorry I'm unfamiliar with "differential galois therory"
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
