Differential Equations
 Family of Curves - a set of curves whose equations are of the
same form but which have different values assigned to one or
more parameters in the equations. Families of curves arise, for
example, in the solutions to differential equations with a free
parameter (Harris and Stocker 1998, p. 649).
