An ordinary differential equation is an equation that contains one or several derivatives of an unknown function, which we will call y (x) and which we want to determine from the equation. The equation may also contain y itself as well as given functions and constants.

Differential
equations are of fundamental importance in engineering mathematics because many
physical laws and relations appear mathematically in the form of such
equations.
An
ordinary differential equation is an equation that contains one or several
derivatives of an unknown function, which we will call y (x) and which we want
to determine from the equation. The equation may also contain y itself as well
as given functions and constants.
The
word "Ordinary" distinguishes them from partial differential
equations, involving an unknown function of two or more variables and its
partial derivatives. In applied mathematics, every geometrical or physical
problem when translated into mathematical symbols gives rise to a differential
equation. The study of a differential equation in applied mathematics consists
of three phases.
(i)
Formation of differential equation from the given physical situation, called
modelling.
(ii)
Solutions of this differential equation, evaluating the arbitrary constants
from the given conditions, and
(iii)
Physical interpretation of the solution.
