Differential Equations
Equations containing derivatives are called differential equations.
Remark:
When a differential equation involves one or more derivatives with
respect to a particular variable, that variable is called the independent
variable. A variable is called dependent if a derivative of that variable
occurs.
Example:
Examples:
Order
The order of a differential equation is the order of
the highest derivative appearing in the equation.
Order
Degree
The degree of a differential equation is given by the exponent that
is raised the highest derivative that occurs in the equation.
