Mathematica Basics
 Purpose: Mathematica solves difficult
mathematical formulas
 Focus: solving ordinary differential equations
(ODEs) of 1st and higher order using
Mathematica
dy
1st Order ODE:
 f ( x, y )
dx
dzx
Higher Order ODE:
 f ( x, y )
z
dy
Mathematica Syntax
 Details about important syntax for
Mathematica can be reviewed on the wiki
page titled “Solving ODEs with Mathematica”
 For entering ODEs, use double equal signs (==)
to define the functions
 When finished with a line, use “Shift”+
“Enter” for Mathematica to compute the
answer
Dsolve and NDSolve
 For ODEs without initial conditions, use Dsolve
Type of Equation
Syntax
Example Equation(s)
Dsolve for Example
One ODE
Dsolve[eqn,y,x]
y''+16y=0
Dsolve[y''[x]+16y[x]==0,y,x]
Multiple ODEs
Dsolve[{eqn1,eqn2,…},{y1,y2,…},x]
y1'-y2-x=0
y2'-y1-1=0
Dsolve[{y1'[x]-y2[x]-x==0,y2'[x]-y1[x]1==0},{y1,y2},x]
 For ODEs with initial conditions, use NDSolve
Type of Equation
Syntax
Example Equation(s)
Dsolve for Example
One ODE
NDSolve[{eqn,i1,i2…},y,{x,xmin,xma
x}]
y''+16y=0,y(0)=1,
y'(0)=0
NDSolve[{y''[x]+16y==0,y[0]==1,y'[0]==0},y,{x,
0,30}]
Multiple ODEs
NDSolve[{eqn1, eqn2, ..., i1, i2,
…},{y1,y2},{x,xmin,xmax}]
y1'-y2-x=0
y2'-y1-1=0
y1(0)=0,y2(0)=0
NDSolve[{y1'[x]-y2[x]-x==0,y2'[x]-y1[x]1==0,y1[0]==y2[0]==0},{y1,y2},{x,20}]

First-order ODE with Initial
Conditions
Use NDSolve in Mathematica
Entering in Mathematica
 Open Mathematica (Version shown here is Mathematica 6)
 Use the following steps to solve the ODE in Mathematica:
1.
Input ODE
2.
Define given variables
Entering in Mathematica (cont.)
3.
Define a variable to NDSolve and enter inputs
X is conversion, and X[0] is entered as 0.0001 instead
of 0 so that the ODE will not be undefined
4.
Plot the solution
