Single Valued Function:
When f is a function of one independent variable that is known as single valued function are function of one variable.
For Example:
s=s(t)=t^2 + 2t + 4
When f is a function of one independent variable that is known as single valued function are function of one variable.
For Example:
s=s(t)=t^2 + 2t + 4
at t=1
s=7
An equation containing the derivative of single valued function is called ordinary differential equation.
For Example:
s=s(t)=t^2 + 2t + 4
ds/dt=2t+2
The order of differential equation is the order of highest derivatives.
For Example:
((d^3 y)/dx^3 )^1+7(dy/dx)^5=100
Order=3
The power of highest derivative is called its degree.
((d^3 y)/dx^3 )^1+7(dy/dx)^5=100
Degree=1
