Differential Equations
A Differential Equation is an equation involving derivatives of
one or more dependent variables with respect to one or more
independent variables.

Dependent and Independent Variable
An INDEPENDENT VARIABLE (IV) is a quantity
that varies independently, i.e., it is not controlled
by (or depend on) other variables. It is found in
the denominator of the derivative.
DEPENDENT VARIABLE (DV) if its value
depends on the independent variable and its
dependence is considered to be unknown. It is
found in the numerator of the derivative.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all
your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Dependent and Independent Variable
When a differential equation
involves one or more
derivatives with respect to a
particular variable, that
variable is called the
INDEPENDENT
VARIABLE. A variable is
called dependent if a
derivative of that variable
occurs.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all
your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.

Classification of DE
Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE):
a DE involve only ONE independent variable.
a DE involving ordinary derivatives of one or more
dependent variables.
Partial Differential Equation (PDE):
a DE that involve two or more independent
variables.
a DE involving partial derivatives of one or more
dependent variables with respect to more than one
independent variable.

Order and Degree of DE
ORDER
Definition: The order of a DE is the order of the highest
derivative appearing in the equation.
DEGREE
Definition: The degree of a DE is given by the exponent
that is raised the highest derivative that occurs in the
equation.

LINEAR OR NONLINEAR
EQUATIONS
Definition: A linear ODE of order n, in the independent
variable 𝑥 and the dependent variable 𝑦 is an equation that
can be expressed in the form:
𝑎 𝑥 𝑦 +𝑎 𝑥 𝑦 +. . . +𝑎 𝑥 𝑦 + 𝑎 𝑥 𝑦 = 𝑏(𝑥)
where 𝑎 𝑥 ≠ 0.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all
your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.
16
EMT 8
MAT 052
Notice that a linear ODE satisfies the
following conditions:
1. The dependent variable 𝑦 and its derivatives occur to
the first degree only.
2. No products of 𝑦 and/or any of its derivatives appear in
the equation.
3. No transcendental functions of 𝑦 and/or its derivatives
occur.
Note: Equations that does not satisfy the above conditions
are called nonlinear.

your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.
