Solving ODEs Symbolically
You can solve ordinary differential equations (ODE) symbolically on Mathcad, using the solve keyword.
You can set the modifier as the function’s name y, or as a function with an argument y(x).
A system of ODEs
 | You can also solve a system of ODE and algebraic equation. |
Boundary Conditions
• Cauchy condition:
• Neumann condition for higher order ODE:
• Inequality condition:
ODEs with the Prime Operator
• You can use derivatives, partial derivative, and the prime operator to write an ODE for symbolic evaluation.
• Use the prime operator without explicitly specifying an argument. Mathcad automatically generates the variable in this case:
• If Mathcad cannot detect the differential variable, an error is displayed:
