πŸ“Œ Issue: Add Diagrams to EM1 Chapter 3 β€” Ordinary Differential Equations

Description

The Chapter 3 notes for Engineering Mathematics I (/sem1/em1/ch3) are currently text-only. Each section has a placeholder comment like Diagram: filename.png but no actual diagrams have been added yet.

This issue tracks adding visual diagrams for all placeholder sections to improve student understanding.


Sections needing diagrams

  • First Order Exact Equations β†’ exact-ode-flow.png
  • Second Order Linear Equations with Constant Coefficients β†’ characteristic-roots.png

Proposed Solution

Create clear, labeled SVG/PNG diagrams for each of the above topics and replace the placeholder comments with proper <img> tags.

Diagrams will cover:

  • Flowchart for solving exact ODEs (check exactness β†’ find potential function β†’ solve)
  • Characteristic root cases: real distinct, real equal, and complex roots with their solution forms

Why this matters

ODE solution methods are step-by-step procedures. Flowcharts and diagrams showing the decision logic and root cases make it significantly easier for students to apply the right method during exams.


Would like to work on this

I'd like to take this up as part of GSSoC. Please assign this issue to me.

Note to maintainer: If there's a preferred folder path for images or a specific format (SVG vs PNG, size/style guidelines), please let me know before I open the PR.
