Examples for

A differential equation is an equation involving a function and its derivatives. It can be referred to as an ordinary differential equation (ODE) or a partial differential equation (PDE) depending on whether or not partial derivatives are involved. Wolfram|Alpha can solve many problems under this important branch of mathematics, including solving ODEs, finding an ODE a function satisfies and solving an ODE using a slew of numerical methods.

Ordinary Differential Equations

Solve an ODE or find an ODE a function satisfies.

Solve a linear ordinary differential equation:

y'' + y = 0

w"(x)+w'(x)+w(x)=0

Specify initial values:
