Differential equations are the equations in mathematics which incorporates many fancy math type symbols, it basically states that how a rate of change in one variable is expounded to the opposite variable. It plays a vital role in biology, physics, economics, engineering etc. Differential equations arise in several areas of science and technology, specifically whenever a settled relation involving some endlessly variable quantities (modeled by functions) and their rates of modification. It assumes an enormous job in science, material science, financial matters, building so forth. Differential conditions emerge in an exceedingly few regions of science and innovation, explicitly at whatever point a settled connection including some perpetually factor amounts (displayed by capacities). allow us to quickly check the foremost basic classification. We already saw the excellence between ordinary and partial differential equations:

• Ordinary differential equations or (ODE) are equations where the derivatives are in love reference to just one variable. That is, there's just one experimental variable.

• Partial differential equations or (PDE) are equations that rely upon partial derivatives of several variables. That is, there are several independent variables.

Differential equations form the language within which the essential laws of science are expressed. The science tells us how the system at hand changes "from one instant to the subsequent." The challenge addressed by the speculation of differential equations is to require this short-term information and acquire information about long-term overall behavior. A basic example is given by law of motion, F = ma. a = acceleration, the second derivative of x = position. Forces don't effect x directly, but only through its derivatives. this can be a second order ODE, and that we will study second order ODEs extensively later within the course.

The study of differential equations has three parts:

1. Analytic, exact, symbolic methods.

2. Quantitative methods (direction fields, isoclines .....).

3. Numerical methods

If I had to call the foremost important general class of differential equations it might be "linear equations." they'll occupy most of this course. Today I'll show you the way to model two globe systems by first order linear equations. Both of them involve systems evolving in time. The variable is time, t . If we write x or x(t) for the variable quantity, we'll write x-dot for its time- derivative. In these ascii notes I'll still write x' the deriviative, though. Definition: A "linear first order ODE" is one that may be put within the "standard form"

r(t) x'(t) + p(t) x(t) = q(t)

In symbols, if t is the time, M is the room temperature, and f(t) is the temperature of the tea at time t then f ′ (t) = k(M − f(t)) where k > 0 is a constant which will depend on the kind of tea (or more generally the kind of liquid) but not on the room temperature or the temperature of the tea. This is Newton’s law of cooling and the equation that we just wrote down is an example of a differential equation.

A homogeneous partial equation is an equation containing one or more partial derivatives of an unknown function with relevancy its independent variables. If the very best partial appearing explicitly within the equation has order n, then the partial equation is said to be of order n
