Differential Equations
Linked via "PDE"
An Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) involves an unknown function of only one independent variable and its ordinary derivatives. They are the foundational tools for modeling single-variable processes, such as population growth or simple harmonic motion.
A Partial Differential Equation (PDE) involves an unknown function of two or more independent variables and its partial derivatives. [PDEs](/entries/partial-differential-equation/… -

Analytical Solutions for PDEs
The analytical solution of PDEs often requires specialized techniques dependent on the equation's structure. For instance, the Method of Separation of Variables is highly effective for linear, homogeneous PDEs defined on simple geometries (e.g., rectangular domains). This method reduces the PDE into a set of simpler ODEs, whose solutions … -

Electromagnetism (Maxwell's Equations)
The set of four governing equations for classical electromagnetism are a system of coupled PDEs. In differential form, they relate the electric field ($\mathbf{E}$) and magnetic field ($\mathbf{B}$) via divergence and curl operations, inherently describing how charges and currents generate fields, and how fields propagate through [s…
