微分方程是伴随微积分应用成长发展的数学分支之一,牛顿是第一位研究微分方程的数学家。他在制定微积分的同时奠定了微分方程的有关理论,虽没有形成完整体系,但其思想方法对创立和发展微分方程这一数学分支具有重要的理论意义。
Differential equation is a branch of mathematics going with the development of calculus. Newton was the first mathematician was studying differential equation. Besides the contribution discussed in his writings of calculus ,he laid the foundation on the differential equation. Although it wasn't complete it has the academic and historical significance to found and develop differential equation study.
