Differential equation (in x and y): an equation that involves x, y, and the derivatives of y.

A function y=f(x) is called a solution of a differential equation if the equation is satisfied when y and its derivatives are replaced by f(x) and its derivatives.

General solution: A solution of a differential equation with its constants undetermined

Singular solution: A solution of a differential equation with its constants undetermined

The order of a differential equation is determined by the highest-order derivative in the equation.

Geometrically, the general solution of a first-order differential equation represents a family of curves known as solution curves.

Particular solutions of a differential equation are obtained from initial conditions that give the values of the dependent variable or one of its derivatives for particular values of the independent variable.

Solving a differential equation can be difficult or almost impossible. If you draw short line segments with the slope at selected points, they form a slope field (or direction field). A slope field shows the general shape of all the solutions and can be helpful in getting a visual perspective of the directions of the solutions of a differential equation.
