Abstract

Differential equations are the main way in which we make mathematical models of the real world. This is true in just about all fields, from physics to fluid mechanics, from astronomy to finance: if you want to understand how something evolves, or if you want to understand equilibria, you will need to set up and “solve” differential equations. For instance, our understanding of global warming depends mainly on analyzing the differential equations modeling the weather and seeing how their behavior depends on the concentration of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. The future of humanity depends on our getting it right.
