Differential equations from outside physics
- Differential equations from outside physics
Most applications of differential equations occur in mathematical models in the physical sciences. However, some occur in biology, economics and other disciplines.
Biology
*Verhulst equation - biological population growth
*Lotka-Volterra equations - biological population dynamics
*Replicator dynamics - may be found in theoretical biology
Economics
* The Black-Scholes PDE
