Homogeneous and Separable ODEs

The video tutorial introduces four types of differential equations: linear, separable, homogeneous, and exact. It explains how to identify and solve each type using specific methods. Linear ODEs are solved using the integrating factor, separable ODEs by separating variables, homogeneous equations through substitution, and exact equations by testing partial derivatives. The video provides an overview and promises more detailed examples in future videos.
