Solving differential equations involves finding an unknown function that satisfies an equation containing derivatives. It requires determining how changes in one quantity affect another quantity, based on given conditions.
Initial Condition: An initial condition is specific information given at an initial point in time or space, which helps determine a unique solution for a differential equation.
Integration: Integration is an operation used in calculus to find antiderivatives and solve certain types of differential equations.
Order of Differential Equation: The order of a differential equation refers to the highest derivative present in the equation. It determines how many initial conditions are needed to find its solution.
