the differential equation d dt P(t)=kP(t) is homogeneous. A solution of an ordinary differential equation is a function which satisfies the equation at all points in the domain of the function. Exercise 1–2. Show that the function P(t)=ekt solves the differential equation above. (Note that the domain of the function ekt is all real numbers t ...

We want to translate the feeling of what should be or what is an Ordinary Differential Equation. (ODE) into mathematical terms. Defining some object like ...

A differential equation, shortly DE, is a relationship between a finite set of functions and its derivatives. Depending upon the domain of the functions involved we have ordinary differ-ential equations, or shortly ODE, when only one variable appears (as in equations (1.1)-(1.6)) or partial differential equations, shortly PDE, (as in (1.7)).

1 Eulers method. Let us start this introduction to the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. (ODEs) by something familiar.

This is an introduction to ordinary di erential equations. We describe the main ideas to solve certain di erential equations, like rst order scalar equations, second

This set of lecture notes was built from a one semester course on the Introduction to Ordinary and Differential Equations at Penn State University from 2010-2014. Our main focus is to develop mathematical intuition for solving real world problems while developing our tool box of useful methods.
