Differential equations are mathematical equations that describe the relationships between an unknown function and its derivatives. They are used to model real-world phenomena in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics.
Differential equations can be solved using various techniques, including separation of variables, substitution, and integrating factors. Advanced methods such as Laplace transforms and numerical methods can also be used.
Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) involve a single independent variable, while partial differential equations (PDEs) involve multiple independent variables. ODEs are also typically solved for a single unknown function, while PDEs can involve multiple unknown functions.
Yes, differential equations are commonly used to model real-world problems in various fields. For example, they can be used to model population growth, motion of objects, and the spread of diseases.
Yes, there are many applications of differential equations in everyday life. For example, they are used in designing electrical circuits, predicting weather patterns, and optimizing financial investments.
