How to identify singular points in differential equations | Math with Janine
In this video tutorial, I demonstrate how to identify singular points in differential equations.
This is useful for when we are solving second order linear differential equations of variable coefficients, which have the form y'' + P(x)y' + Q(x)y=0.
A point xo is an ordinary point if P(x) and Q(x) are analytic at xo. Otherwise, it is a singular point. Analytic means that a function has a power series representation at a given point.
