Differential Equations course leaves out two crucial methods of solving first-order equations

How can we help?

I'm taking DifEq, and I was disappointed to find that Khan Academy does not cover first-order linear equations and their method of solving (multiplying by an integrating factor). There is also no material on solving by substitution. Rectifying this would be very helpful to students of higher-level math, as any college Differential Equations course will require mastery of these topics.

Hello Claire,

Thank you for your insightful observations on the Differential Equations course. I've passed this feedback along to the appropriate team so they can review not only this section but any other courses that might need a boost.

As we grow and expand, we’re continuing to add new content to offer a better education at Khan Academy. Investing more heavily in the content team is actually one of our major initiatives.

Thank you for being part of our community!
