Answer 1

Hi nice and Your pic shows You are Passionate about photography........ nice pic ;)
Here's and URL for the question above presented by KHAN ACADEMY : http://www.khanacademy.org/math/differential-equations/v/what-is-a-differential-equation

Answer 2

Well he explained it. A differential equation is non-linear if the function or its derivative (of any order) is multiplied to itself or to any of its derivatives.
e.g.
x.(d^2y/dx^2)+dy/dx+5=0 is linear
x.(d^2y/dx^2)^2=sin(x) is non-linear since the 2nd derivative is multiplied to itself.
y.(d^2y/dx^2)=sin(x) is non-linear since the 2nd derivative is multiplied to the function y.

Answer 3

thnx

Answer 4

medal

Answer 5

id like to ask which is the partial and the ordinary?

Answer 6

ODE:
y'+y''-y+x=0

Answer 7

PDE: involves the or f(blah,blah)

Answer 8

a layman's view: ODE are hard. PDE are harder.

Answer 9

inkyvoyd i think you got that backwards
\[y_x=\partial_xy=\frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\]
