SUMMARY
Linear differential equations are indeed considered linear systems, as both share the defining characteristics of linearity: closure under addition, scalar multiplication, and the inclusion of the zero element. The properties of linearity apply uniformly to both concepts, establishing a foundational relationship. Furthermore, linear differential equations can generate linear systems that model subspaces adhering to these linear properties, reinforcing their interconnectedness.
