Hey, Mechanics (at least the syllabus I am doing) is the applications of Integration to acceleration, velocity and position.
According to google: "In mathematics, a differential equation is an equation that relates one or more functions and their derivatives. In applications, the functions generally represent physical quantities, the derivatives represent their rates of change, and the differential equation defines a relationship between the two."
I have only recently heard of the term differential equation (not in class) and found that it is strikingly similar to what I do in Mechanics.
Would studying a course in differential equations benefit me? I have been seeing the term 'characteristic equation' used and I can see myself using similar techniques to solve questions.
