What is a Differential Equation? (An intro to ODE) Chris Tisdell UNSW

The video is a simple introduction to the area of "ordinary differential equations" (ODEs). We define what an ODE is and what `a solution' really means.

The topic is motivated via simple examples and applications. In particular, ODEs are a powerful tool for modeling dynamical processes and for making precise predictions about future states of phenomena.

Such ideas are seen in 1st year university mathematics courses.
