Introduction to Differential Equations

We live an a world of rapid change.  But, even when technology and culture once shifted through time more slowly, everything around us still changed over time. Winds blew, plants grew, prey moved, the moon drifted across the sky, all displaying change. Differential equations give us mathematical tools to model the changes that we observe. […]

Welcome to Gary's Differential Equations Clearinghouse

Here you can find information about differential equations: $\frac{dy}{dx}=f(x)$ $\frac{\partial^2u }{\partial x^2 }=\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2u }{\partial t^2 }$ $y''+k\sin(y)=0$ If $\frac{dy}{dx}=ky$, then $\displaystyle y=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(kx)^n}{n!}$.
