Power Series Solution for a differential equation

[@csegura26]

The first second of this video is really remarkable

[@damian.gamlath]

definitely cool. I love your way of teaching because you address the little doubts along the way, and explain why we are doing something, and why it makes sense to even think about doing it in the first place.. Something that alot of other youtubers don't do as well as you do. Thank-you :)

I have a degree in mathematics and I would have to say that it is always good that two methods yield the same answer for a problem 👍the power series derivation I'm sure will help those seeking to understand how to find a power series solution to a differential equation :D plus power series are so important in analysis so this is a good introduction to that as well. Great video!

[@JoQeZzZ]

How have you never studied power series solutions to n-th order differential equations while getting your math degree?

[@skateboarderlucc]

you misread...he said the video would be a good starting point for beginners (obviously not referencing himself).

[@abda7184]

Thank you very much for this informative explanation 👌👌👌👍

Hi!

[@indrada-rf2vu]

blackpenredpen hi :)

[@batubulgur]

blackpenredpen I just gave my math101 final and it went pretty well. Just learned Taylor and stuff like that. And seeing its usage to solve diff eq's is pretty cool. Love maths, still a lot to learn. I have a question, don't you have to calculate the remainder and show that it approaches zero? I mean, it looks just like e^x that gives us confidence but still...?

[@jordancastaneda7027]

"It's just like excel!" yes, yes it is indeed, thank you so much for helping me see it this way ! This is the easiest explanation I have came across so far.

[@alienmoondudes8071]

[@lalitverma5818]

Hi

[@SuperDreamliner787]

I´m currently attending a differential equations class and I have to solve one with the powers series method. Thank you for putting this up! Greetings from Germany! :)

[@m.abdullah4518]

Bro your teaching method is goooood. Got my semester final today and this cleared power series for me which I wasn't able to understand the whole dam semester

[@seanfraser3125]

I think its great that you can find the solution in two very different ways. Yes, obviously the power series analysis is much more involved, but it also shows you another way of finding the general solution to the ODE. One of my favorite things about math is that there is almost always more than one way to approach a problem and find the same solution. Of course, if the problem on an exam was to find the power series solution to the ODE, I would just find the exact solution and find its power series. Saves a few minutes :)

[@blackpenredpen]

Yea, I like it whenever we can solve a problem with multiple ways. This could also be done with integrating factor as well.

[@randys2669]

Recently got back into studying math, this is such a beautiful method for differential equations

[@Collinator02]

this guy is single handedly teaching me diff eq. ive had 3 teachers so far. 1st dude i withdrew from, graded ridiculously hard. made up stuff that only he understood. talked in an accent and wouldn't help. 2nd and 3rd taught the class together split in the middle. 2nd guy was alright just ranted about random stories sometimes. 3rd guy. sheesh. tiny asian dude who whispers. cant understand a thing he says, and when he does talk about something really important he just starts talking 20 times faster WHILE STILL WHISPERING. love you blackpenredpen

[@chritophergaafele8922]

I never see you solve a math problem that fast

[@hassanalihusseini1717]

A nice week to solve it with a power series, as power serieses are very important to make calculations easier. Of course it would be much faster to solve this problem by separation of variables: y' + 2xy = 0 y/y' = -2x lny = -x^2 + c1 y=ce^-x^2 (with c := e^c1) I like your videos a lot, because they make me understand calculus deeper. Are you considering to make other videos on other subjects in mathematics, too?

It's zero bc the right hand side is 0. That is why he set everything to zero. I hope this helps ;)

[@zhylerliebesleid9771]

This is so interesting

[@Kurtlane]

Your videos are great, including this one. Just one correction; here you say several times "to compromise it." I'm not sure what is the right word here, maybe "to counterbalance it" or "to restore the original meaning," or something else, but it's definitely not "to compromise." It's not depressing, it's excellent!

[@blackpenredpen]

Kurtlane hi there! Thanks for the comment. My idea was like this: suppose u and I are making a deal, I give u two dollars, which means If i lose 2 then gain 2. Just like a trade. When I said this in my face to face class, my students understood it.

[@oqardZ]

Expression you are looking for is "to compensate for it".

[@blackpenredpen]

oqardZ that's for $ tho lol!

[@blackpenredpen]

oqardZ but I might also use that next time

[@davidgould9431]

English can be a wretchedly difficult language. I am a 56 year old native speaker with only a rudimentary grasp of any second language, so I am totally in awe of people who manage to be 98% fluent in English, so please don't take this as a criticism of the videos: they are all perfectly understandable but, while we are talking about English rather than maths, I may be able to cast some light. The problem here is that compromise has gradually taken on two different meanings, depending on how it's used exactly (grammar alert: transitive versus intransitive usage): "to compromise *something* " means to make that something worse or to create a bad effect: if you have a container of water and you make a hole in it, you compromise its water retention (because it will leak). If you say that someone has a bad temper, or is lazy or something bad, you compromise their ability to get a job: you make it work less well. You might say you compromise *them* in that case. "to reach a compromise" or just "to compromise" (but no object: " we disagreed, but we compromised."), which is what you are doing with your trading example, is to make a deal that is part way between the two parties' starting positions: if I want to sell you my car for $1000 and you want to buy it for $500 we might compromise on $750. Or if I want to go to the cinema and my wife doesn't want to see the film, we might compromise by going out for a meal: we both get an evening out, but not our ideal evenings. As long as we both enjoyed it, we reached a good compromise. To wheel out some gratuitous grammar, when "to compromise" is transitive (that is, it takes an object: you compromise *something*), you are making that thing worse. When "to compromise" is intransitive (no object: you just compromise with each other, say), you are reaching an agreement. As oqardZ says, in this case a native speaker would use "to compensate": you have made a change in one place and, therefore, you need to make a change in another place to compensate for that first change. Sorry: this is far too long a comment. As I said initially, the videos are great and easy to understand: it's just that , in this case, what you said doesn't mean what you think it means.

[@levi4328]

why couldn't we just set the summation to be equal to -a1? 7:00

[@hugocampos7894]

Perhaps a bit late but if I'm not mistaken it's because it's being multiplied by an X^n on the right and you can't really cancel that with anything inside the summation
