Differential Equations

This topic introduces basic differential equations, teaching students to formulate and solve first-order differential equations using separation of variables. Learners will apply these techniques to model real-world phenomena such as population growth, radioactive decay, and cooling processes. Differential equations represent an important application of calculus in the Zambian CBC, connecting mathematics to scientific modeling and problem-solving. This advanced topic prepares Form 4 students for ECZ examination challenges and develops mathematical modeling skills essential for science and engineering fields.
