In [[mathematics]], a '''differential equation''' is an [[equation]] that relates a [[function]] to one or more of its [[derivative]]s. Differential equations are especially applicable when the tools of algebra, which are ideally suited for static systems, are not enough. Many physical systems are modeled by solving differential equations, although their usefulness extends well into other fields of science such as chemistry and economics.
