What Does ODE Stand For?

ODE stands for Ordinary Differential Equation

ODE, or Ordinary Differential Equation, refers to a type of differential equation that involves functions of a single variable and their derivatives. It is used to model a wide variety of dynamic systems in fields such as physics, engineering, economics, and biology. An ODE expresses a relationship between an unknown function and its derivatives, and solutions to these equations provide insights into the behavior of the system over time. ODEs can be classified into various categories based on their order, linearity, and specific properties, which influence the techniques used for their analysis and solutions.
