continuous variable. One of the simplest differential equations is also an extremely important model, i.e., dx dt = αx In words, the rate of change of the quantity x depends on the amount of the quantity. If α > 0 then we have exponential growth. If α < 0 the situation is exponetial decay. Of course additional terms can be added that ...
