Integral Curve


IntegralCurves

A particular solution to a differential equation corresponding to a specific value of the equation's free parameters. For example, the integral curves of the differential equation y^'+x^2+x=0, given by y=-x^2/2-x^3/3+C, are illustrated above for a range of values of C between -2 and 2.
