Partial differential equations can describe everything from planetary motion to plate tectonics, but they’re notoriously hard to solve. Unless you’re a physicist or an engineer, there really ...

Some equations are beautiful because they reveal unexpected relationships between different subjects. The Loewner differential equation, introduced by Charles Loewner in 1923, describes the time ...

The wave equation was an early differential equation, and the techniques developed to solve the equation opened the door to understanding other differential equations as well. 9. Fourier Transform ...

Most of us, having learned the subject in the traditional way, have a limited toolkit of examples that we truly understand. Unlike Maple and Mathematica, products that solve differential equations ...

The honor, like a Nobel Prize for mathematics, was given this year to Luis Caffarelli for his work on partial differential equations. By Kenneth Chang As a mathematician, Luis A. Caffarelli of the ...

An intermediate level course in the analytical and numerical study of ordinary differential equations, with an emphasis on their applications to the real world. Exact solution methods for ordinary ...

Marshall University's differential analyzer model was unveiled during a public demonstration Saturday, May 2, at the Francis-Booth Experimental Theatre on the Huntington campus.

The problem is that partial differential equations — as essential and ubiquitous as they are in science and engineering — are notoriously difficult to solve, if they can be solved at all. Approximate ...

Newton discovered the fundamental differential equations that govern the motion of every planet. The same differential equations could be used to describe every planet in the solar system.

Earlier this year, Mathematician Ian Stewart came out with an excellent and deeply researched book titled "In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations That Changed the World" that takes a look at the ...
