Newton's law of heating and the heat equation
msp.org › involve › 2009A popular application involving an elementary differential equation is Newton’s law of heating, which describes the change in temperature in an object whose sur-roundings are hotter than it is.1 If the temperature at time t is T.t/, then Newton’s law of heating is T0D .T s T/; T.0/DT 0; (1) where T s and T
