Abstract

Ordinary and partial differential equations describe the way certain quantities vary with time, such as the current in an electrical circuit, the oscillations of a vibrating membrane, or the flow of heat through an insulated conductor. These equations are generally coupled with initial conditions that describe the state of the system at time t = O.
