Title Summary
Reducing a Second Order Equation to a First Order Equation Professer Lipsman (video) shows how, in certain special circumstances, a second order ODE can be reduced to a first order ODE ---
whose solution leads to a solution of the original second order ODE.
Errata: Close to the beginning, Prof L meant "y double prime" when he said "y prime"
