Document Summary

Odes: one seeks a function of a single variable (e. g. y(x)) that satisfies a di erential equation a given relation between the function and its derivatives (y, y , y , ). Pdes: one seeks a function of multiple variables (e. g. u(x, t)) that satisfies a relation between that function and its partial derivatives. Sample pde: ut = uxx (the heat or di usion equation; subscripts used as shorthand for partial derivatives) An ode or pde is linear if the di erential equation is a linear combination of the function and its for an ode in which y(x) is related to its first derivative y , the equation is linear if it has. Here, c0, c1, , are either arbitrary functions of x or constants. Order of an ode: pick out the highest derivative of y(x) in the ode. If n is the number of derivatives, then the order of the ode is also n.
