Using the algebra system MAPLE the authors obtain an explicit form of the 3rd, 4th, and 5th-order nonlinear equations that are linearizable by means of the invertible transformation of variables \((x,y) \mapsto (t,z):y=v(y)z\), \(dt=u(y) dx\) (here \(x\) and \(y\) are the ``old independent and dependent variables respectively, \(t\) and \(z\) are the new ones, and \(u(y), v(y)\) are sufficiently smooth functions). By means of this approach general solutions to such equations are written out. A number of examples is considered. The most interesting of them is the well known Euler-Poinsot system of rigid body dynamics. This 3-dimensional system is reduced to the 3rd-order differential equation \(y-y^{-1}y'y-4bcy^2y'=0 (\ast)\). It turns out that \((\ast)\) is linearizable by means of the transformation \(y^2=z, dt=ydx\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0937.00045].
