A geometric analysis of the problem \(f(x,y,y')=0\) is given which may be of value in developing numerical methods for solution near the singular points where \(fy'=0\). In particular, the approach here shows problems of switching branches when computing numerically a solution near an envelope, as noted by \textit{L. Fox} and \textit{D. F. Mayers} [ibid. 1, 377- 401 (1981; Zbl 0471.65053)]. A simple numerical method based on the geometric approach is developed.
