Study Notes

About Mathematicians

  • Differential equations have been an important branch of applied mathematics since the 17th century.
  • The history of differential equations traces back to calculus, independently invented by Isaac Newton and German scientist Gottfried Leibnitz.

Gottfried Leibnitz

  • Introduced a standard form of linear differential equation of the first order and first degree.
  • Defined in terms of two variables x and y.

Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE)

  • Involve more than one differential term, unlike ordinary equations in mathematics.
  • Applications in real life:
    • Finding speed and distance or flow of current.
    • Motion of an object (solid or liquid), such as a pendulum or ocean waves.
    • Explaining thermodynamic concepts.
    • Medical applications: checking bacterial decay, growth of population using graphical representation.

Bernoulli's Differential Equation

  • A modified version of the Leibnitz equation, overcoming the disadvantage of linear differential equations.
  • Practical example: lift generated by an aircraft's wings due to Bernoulli's principle.

Types of Differential Equations

  • Ordinary differential equations.
  • Partial differential equations.
  • Homogeneous differential equations:
    • Defined as functions of the same degree.
    • Example: homogeneous function in x and y.
  • Non-homogeneous differential equations:
    • Functions that do not satisfy the property of homogeneity.
  • Pendant (non-linear differential equation).

Conclusion

  • Calculus, including differential equations, plays a vital role in mathematics and real-life applications.
  • Different types of differential equations have various real-life applications.
