First order scalar ODEs are the first ODEs we study.

  • Scalar: One unknown
  • First order: y'

They come in the form

where the first term is normalized, p and g are continuous functions.

Solution

Note that integrating a differential equation on both sides does not solve it. We need another algorithm.
