(On the integration of differential equations)
Summary:
Euler integrates the equation Mdx + Ndy = 0 using the method of integrated factors; he treats the Riccati Equation as a
special case.
According
to C. G. J. Jacobi, a treatise with this title was read to the Berlin Academy on June 12, 1755, and
another (or the same one?) on October 21, 1756.
