What is a DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION?? **Intro to my full ODE course**

In this video I’m giving an introduction to ODEs or Ordinary Differential Equations. Our goal is to model a world where properties are changing, and we note from Calculus that rates of change were encoded by the derivative of a function. But where did those functions come from? Often, the answer is differential equations. We’re going to see two major examples of differential equations in this video, exponential growth and free falling under gravity. In both we will talk about infinite families of solutions, and the role of initial conditions.
