Two methods for solving Transient Circuits

[Fi-reefly]

Hi!

I'm learning about solving transient circuits using the differential method and step-by-step approach and I'm just wondering if there's any advantages or disadvantages to both.

Are there any problems which will be easier solved using the step-by-step approach vs differential?

Thanks!

Can you show examples of each approach?
