Content Summary

Euler starts with a second-order linear differential equation with simple, rational coefficients and figures out which cases of this quantity, divided by infinite sequences, produce a quotient that can be integrated. Then he derives a first-order differential equation out of the given equation and gets a new integrable equation in this way. The Riccati differential equation appears as a special case.
