What are Ordinary Differential Equations?

Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) are equations that describe the relationship between a function and its derivatives. They are essential tools for understanding how quantities change over time or with respect to other variables. You'll discover their widespread applications in fields like:

• Population Dynamics: Modeling how populations grow or decline.
• Finance: Understanding continuous compound interest.
• Electrical Engineering: Analyzing series circuits.
• Physics: Describing the motion of a particle and other physical phenomena.
