Hello everyone, I have this first order differential equation: y'[t] = -A (y[t])^2 + B (C - y[t]) where A and B are unknown constants and C is known constant. One condition is y[0]==0 A and B should be determined by fitting a list of {y[i],t[i]} values. For this reason i would like to approximate my differential equation with a function which I could use to fit the data and find A and B. I don't know how to do this. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks,
