By first principle‚ it is defined as rate of change of y with respect to x. 1.1. Definitions What is a Differential Equation? A differential equation (DE) is an equation containing the derivatives of one or more dependent variables with respect to one or more independent variables. 1.1. Definitions

Several investment banks gathered to discuss the possibility of raising enough private money to recapitalize Barings before the Tokyo market reopened on Monday morning. This attempt failed because of the size of Barings’s positions in Japenese derivatives contracts‚ many of them still open and liable to incur still bigger losses.

However‚ there is a second derivative only with respect to the share price and only a first derivative with respect to time. In finance‚ these type equations have been around since the early seventies‚ thanks to Fischer Black and Myron Scholes. However‚ equations of this form are very common in physics. Physicists

History of Differential Calculus Universidad Iberoamericana September 20‚ 2013 Ever since men felt the need to count‚ the history of calculus begins‚ which together with Mathematics is one of the oldest and most useful science. Since men felt that need for counting objects‚ this need led to the creation of systems that allowed them to maintain control of their properties. They initially did it with the use of fingers‚ legs‚ or stones. But as humans continued developing
