Differential Equation

A differential equation is an equation that involves the derivatives of a function as well as the function itself.

Differential equation is a college-level concept that would be first encountered in a differential equations course. It is an Advanced Placement Calculus AB topic.

Examples

Ordinary Differential Equation:	An equality involving a function and its derivatives.
Partial Differential Equation:	A partial differential equation is an equation involving a function and its partial derivatives.

Prerequisites

Derivative:

A derivative is the infinitesimal rate of change in a function with respect to one of its parameters.
