What are Differential Equations
Calculus, the science of rate of change, was invented
by Newton in the investigation of natural phenomena.
Many other types of systems can be modelled by
writing down an equation for the rate of change of
phenomena:
bandwidth utilisation in TCP networks.
acceleration of car.
population increase.
chemical change of some kind.
locus of a football.
All of the above behaviour can be captured by very
simple differential equations.
A mathematical
equation that relates a
function with its derivatives
is called differential
equation,
the function usually
represent physical quantities,
derivatives represent its rate
of change
differential
History of Differential Equations

Origin of differential
equations
In mathematics history of differential
equations traces the development of
differential equations form calculus, itself
independently invented by English physicist
Isaac Newton and German mathematician
Gottfried Leibniz.
The history of the subject of differential
equations in concise form a synopsis of the
