This is a short overview of the most relevant commands for differential equations, and some illustrations of what we have seen in sections 1.1, 2.1 and 2.2.
Maple can solve differential equations.
Sometimes it can do them symbolically, finding the general solution. If the equation can not be solved symbolically, one can always find a numerical answer. The commands are the same, but we have to specify initial conditions. DSolve is quite powerful. This will give some information about how Maple goes about solving the equation.
