== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> == * '''Differential Equation''' β An equation containing at least one derivative of an unknown function. * '''Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE)''' β An equation containing derivatives with respect to only one independent variable (e.g., time). * '''Partial Differential Equation (PDE)''' β An equation containing derivatives with respect to multiple variables (e.g., space and time). * '''Order''' β The highest derivative present in the equation (e.g., a second-order equation has a $y''$ term). * '''Linear Differential Equation''' β An equation where the dependent variable and its derivatives appear to the first power and are not multiplied together. * '''Initial Value Problem (IVP)''' β A differential equation together with a specified value (initial condition) for the unknown function at a given point. * '''General Solution''' β A solution that includes all possible solutions to a differential equation, usually containing arbitrary constants ($C$). * '''Particular Solution''' β A specific solution obtained from the general solution by applying initial conditions. * '''Boundary Conditions''' β Values specified at the boundaries of the domain (common in PDEs). * '''Homogeneous Equation''' β An equation where every term contains the dependent variable or its derivatives (no standalone constant terms). * '''Separation of Variables''' β A method for solving ODEs by moving all terms of one variable to one side and the other variable to the other side. * '''Integrating Factor''' β A function used to multiply a non-separable equation to make it integrable. * '''Autonomous Equation''' β An equation that does not explicitly depend on the independent variable (usually time). </div> <div style="background-color: #006400; color: #FFFFFF; padding: 20px; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
