A differential equation is a mathematical relationship which contains one or more derivatives of a function. The solution of the differential equation is the original function. These equations are often used in scientific applications, particularly in...

Ordinary differential equations, sometimes abbreviated as ODEs, are equations comprised of a function containing an unknown and the derivatives of that function. Since the order of an ordinary differential equation is the order of the highest-order...

A differential equation is a mathematical equation for an unknown function of one or several variables that relates the values of the function itself and of its derivatives of various orders. Differential equations play a prominent role in engineering,...

MODELING DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS IN BIOLOGY by Clifford Henry Taubes Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458, 500 pp., 2001 Clifford Henry Taubes has written an excellent text on the application of differential equations to the biological sciences. The text is primarily for...

Abstract This paper presents a planning course on ordinary differential equations (ODE) for graduating students of physics / engineering. It contains a classical body and some nonstandard topics such as the influence of unmodeled dynamics of a system on its behavior. ...
