rewriting
[edit]This page needs re-writing very, very soon; large portions are copied verbatim from MathWorld. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.131.136.26 (talk) 20:34, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, it looks like the author tried to paraphrase things but the result was much too close to the MathWorld text in some places. I have trimmed and edited it a little. If someone with more knowledge of the area can expand the article here to 2-3 times its present length, that will be more useful in distinguishing it from the MathWorld article. — Carl (CBM · talk) 11:49, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
links to abbreviations
[edit]ODE needs a link to "Ordinary Differential Equations" surely one in wikipedia. DAE needs a link to "Differential Algebraic Equations" again, surely one here.
Maybe I'm allowed, didn't even check. It's been too many years to help much but my "quick summary" of this is that it offers a method of iteratively solving some types of differential equations by slicing (stepping through) one of the dimensions and solving the resultant equation in the remaining dimension(s). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.225.107.17 (talk) 20:45, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
