Differential Equations

A population that grows without bound is modeled by the differential equation

$$f'(t)=af(t)$$

Solve this differential equation using SymPy.


In [7]:

If the population growth is bounded, it is modeled by

$$f'(t) = f(t)(1 - f(t))$$

Solve this differential equation using SymPy.
