differential equation
Sign in to saveAlso known as differential equation (elementary mathematics), diff eq, diffyEq, diffyeq, diff eq'n, diffeq, differential equations
mathematical equation involving derivatives of an unknown function
A differential equation is a mathematical equation that involves the derivatives (rates of change) of an unknown function, rather than just the function itself. These equations matter because they're used to describe how things change over time or space, making them essential for modeling everything from the motion of planets to the spread of diseases.
