| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Order of a Differential Equation | Order of a differential equation is defined as the order of the highest order derivative of the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable involved in the given differential equation. |
| Differential Equation | In general, an equation-involving derivative (derivatives) of the dependent variable with respect to independent variable (variables) is called a differential equation. |
