The intention of this thesis is to present Riccati differential equations, which are used in mathematics and in many other natural sciences. These equations are presented in their basic and in some specific forms and supported with several examples, which make this issue easier to understand.
We will introduce mostly Riccati equations of first order and also their correlation with second-order differential equation. At the beginning of solving equations we will sum up the process of solving first-order differential equation and define the concept of the solution or the integral of a differential equation, order of a differential equation and degree of a differential equation.
At the end, there is a short description of Jacopo Francesco Riccati’s biography, the author of Riccati equations and his contribution to solving differential equations.
