TYPES OF DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION
 Ordinary DE – all differential coefficients have reference to a
single independent variable

 Partial DE – contains two (2) or more independent variables

and partial derivatives (𝜕 )

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION
 Linear DE – an equation in which the dependent variable and
its derivatives occur only in the 1st degree

 Non-Linear DE – an equation that does not have the form of

Linear DE
