Solving Differential Equations using Symbolic Math Toolbox

1 - Differential Equations

A differential equation is a mathematical equation that relates some


function with its derivatives.

2 – Types of Differential Equations

Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE)

An ordinary differential equation (ODE) is an equation containing a


function of one independent variable and its derivatives.

Partial Differential Equations

A partial differential equation (PDE) is a differential equation that


contains unknown multivariable functions and their partial derivatives.

Linear Differential Equations

A differential equation is linear if the unknown function and its


derivatives have degree 1 (products of the unknown function and its
derivatives are not allowed).
Non-Linear Differential Equations

Non-linear differential equations are formed by the products of the


unknown function and its derivatives are allowed and its degree is > 1.

3 - Solving Differential Equations

Return the differential equation to its Algebraic form without


derivatives.
