Among the list of references that Jean-Marc offered you see also the following technical notes from wolfram's site http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/TechNotes/18/ http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/TechNotes/21/ Regards Dimitris Ï/Ç Jean-Marc Gulliet Ýãñáøå: > learner wrote: > > Hi, everyone, > > i am new to solve ode in mathematica. i am trying to solve two > > odes(not for hw :)). > > y'+ytan(x)=sin(2x) > > > > I use: NSolve[{Direvative[1][y][x]+y Tan[x]==Sin[2x]},y,x] > > > > and get reply saying that: > > InverseFunction::ifun: Inverse functions are being used.
