algebraic differential equations

Algebraic differential equations are mathematical expressions that relate a function, its derivatives (rates of change), and algebraic operations like addition or multiplication. They describe how a quantity changes over time or space based on its current value and its rate of change, using algebraic formulas. These equations are useful in modeling phenomena such as physics, biology, and engineering—where understanding the evolving behavior of systems is essential. Solving such an equation helps determine the specific function that fits the described relationships, revealing how a system progresses or responds under given conditions.
