ODE and PDE

Ordinary Differential Equation

An ordinary differential equation (abbreviated O.D.E. or ODE) is one which has only one independent variable.
All the derivatives occurring in it are therefore ordinary

Partial Differential Equation

A partial differential equation (abbreviated P.D.E. or PDE) is one which has more than one independent variable.
The derivatives occurring in it are therefore partial.
