Is there any software packages available to solve Differential equations(first order and second order)? This will be great help for me.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Try math software like maxima (free!), mathematica, maple, matlab,... All of these can solve differential equations!
 
Or Wolfram|Alpha...
 
* Hitting myself for forgetting wolfram alpha *
 
Well, Wolfram|Alpha is locally isomorphic to Mathematica. :biggrin:

"locally isomorphic"! I like that one!
