Differential equations* play a vital role in the solutions to many problems encountered when modeling physical phenomena. All the disciplines in the physical sciences, with their own unique interests representing a variety of physical situations, require that the student be able to derive the necessary mathematical equation (often a differential equation) and then solve the equation to obtain the desired solution. We shall consider a variety of physical situations that lead to differential equations, using representative problems from several disciplines, and standard methods used to solve the equations will be developed.
