Equations {differential equation} can use derivatives to model change, without considering initial or boundary conditions.
purpose
Differential equations solve elasticity, spring, vibration, catenary, pendulum, astronomy, Earth-shape, and tractrix problems.
types
Ordinary differential equations have no partial derivatives. Partial differential equations have at least one partial derivative.
order
Differential equation has highest derivative {order, differential}.
degree
Differential equations have variable power {degree, equation} in highest-order derivative. First-degree differential equations {linear differential equation, degree} model additive phenomena.
