I am learning how to solve 1st order linear ODEs using the integrating factor.However, I run into confusion at the definition of a linear ODE.
According to a reliable source, a linear ODE must have the form:
(dy/dt) + p(t)y= g(t)
I don't understand what it means for an ODE to be linear or why the formula above makes an ODE linear.
