The most common classification of differential equations is based on order. The order of a differential equation simply is the order of its highest derivative. You can have first-, second-, and higher-order differential equations. First–order differential equations involve derivatives of the first order, such as in this example:

A differential equation is an equation in one or more variables involving one or more of its own derivatives. A major goal of taking a class in differential equations is to solve for f(x) if given f˜(x), f˜˜(x), etc. That is, somehow work backward and find the function whose derivative is given.

The fun and easy way to understand and solve complex equations. Many of the fundamental laws of physics, chemistry, biology, and economics can be formulated as differential equations. This plain-English guide explores the many applications of this mathematical tool and shows how differential equations can help us understand the world around us.

2. The simplest 1-variable differential equations Suppose that you are interested in the values of some quantity, say p, as a function of time, t. A differential equation for p is an equation which equates the time derivative of p to some function of p. a) The simplest equation The simplest differential equation reads d dt p = 0 (2.1)

2 CHAPTER 1 Introduction to Differential Equations 1.1 Differential Equation Models To start our study of differential equations, we will give a number of examples. This list is meant to be indicative of the many applications of the topic. It is far from being exhaustive. In each case, our discussion will be brief. Most of the examples will be

Such equations are hard to solve. So we will be looking at second order linear differential equations, which have the form y00 +p(t)y0 +q(t)y= g(t). (1.2.2) If a second order equation can be written in the form of the above equation, it is called linear, and otherwise nonlinear. For such differential equations solving methods exist.
