DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION
An equation which involves derivatives of one or more dependent
variables w.r.t one or more independent variable
 ordinary differential equation (ode) : D.E in which the
dependent variable y depends only on one independent
variable say x.
 partial differential equation (pde) : D.E in which
dependent variable y depends on two or more
independent variables say x , t etc.

3. ORDER OF D.E : Order of differential equation is the order of the
highest order derivative appearing in the equation.
DEGREE OF D.E : Degree of differential equation is the degree of the
highest ordered derivatives.
LINEAR D.E : An D.E the is said to be linear in if
(i) Every dependent variable and derivatives involved occurs to the first
degree only and
(ii) Products of derivatives and/or dependent variables do not occur.
NOTE : D.E which is not linear is called non-linear differential equation.
