 IN REAL LIFE
CREATING GAMES AND SOFTWARE

Differential equations are used in many cases, the

simulation modeling software does the work of
transforming your model and solving the
equations.
Differential equation is also greatly used in game
development.
 IN REAL LIFE
CREATING GAMES AND SOFTWARE
For Instance to you a prey-predator video game is presented. In this
video game two predators chase a prey that tries to avoid the capture
by the predators and to reach a location in space (i.e. its “home”). The
prey is animated by a human player (using a joypad), the predators are

automated players whose behavior is decided by the video game

engine. The purpose of the video game is to show how to use
mathematical models to build a simple prey-predator dynamics
representing a physical system where the movements of the game
actors satisfy ODE and the behavior of the automated players
simulates a simple form of intelligence. The game is based on a
simple set of Higher order ordinary differential equations. These
differential equations are used in classical mechanics to describe the
dynamics of a set of point masses subject to a force chosen by the
human player.
 IN REAL LIFE
MOTHER NATURE
Differential Equation is an essential tool for
describing the nature of the physical universe .It
have an remarkable ability to predict the world
around us, they are used in wide variety of
disciplines like predicting the weather,
glacier melting, cosmology ,
wildfire modeling and many more.
 IN REAL LIFE
ROBOTICS
Differential equations helps to provide
shape, interior and exterior design of
machine. ODEs are ubiquitous in
robotics. Robotic system dynamics are
described by ODEs, and control laws
are formulated in terms of those ODEs.
To call yourself a roboticist you
absolutely have to be comfortable with
 IN REAL LIFE
ROCKETS AND SATELLITES
In space the motion of rockets and
satellites is still governed by gravity. In
order for space shuttles to meet up with
the ISS GPS and television satellites to
be in the right place at the right time
and for lunar modules to be able to land
on the moon we need higher order
differential equations.
 IN engineering
MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS
The study of motion of objects and the effect of forces
acting on those objects.
You know Suspension bridges are elegant bridges that
span distances between 300 and 2300 meters. Their
flexibility and low deadweight are great for engineering.
Suspension bridges are actually quite flexible to prevent
buckling. This flexibility causes also means these bridges
are susceptible to resonance. Resonance is a phenomenon
modelled using second-order differential equations.
 IN engineering
SIMPLE HARMONIC MOTION
Consider a mass suspended from a spring
attached to a rigid support. (This is commonly
called a spring-mass system.) Gravity is pulling
the mass downward and the restoring force of
the spring is pulling the mass upward. When
these two forces are equal, the mass is said to be
at the equilibrium position. If the mass is
displaced from equilibrium, it oscillates up and
down. This behavior can be modeled by a
second-order constant-coefficient 
differential equation.
 IN engineering
POPULATION DYNAMICS
Population dynamics studies the changes in size and
composition of populations through time . In this
study, we provide a mathematical framework for
ODE model analysis and an outline of the historical
context surrounding mathematical population
modeling. For the past few centuries, ordinary
differential equations (ODEs) have served well as
models of both single-species and multispecies
population dynamics.
 IN MEDICAL TERMS
In medicine for modelling cancer growth
in human body or the spread of disease,
ODE is used. Also differential
equations are used to
model biological processes on various
levels ranging from DNA molecules or
biosynthesis on the cellular level.
Moreover, ODE is also used in
neuroscience.
 CONCLUSION
With their broad and advance uses, no wonder why some
people found it difficult. However, with their remarkable
ability, people spend their time and effort analyzing and
describing their behaviors. Some people spend their youths
exploring and mastering its concepts and digging dipper on
it, exploring its mysteries. It is indeed challenging and
worthwhile knowing its characteristics and behaviors,
playing a major role in our environment, that’s why everyone
of us should appreciate them.
