Some notes on the intended use of this series. I was deliberate in using the phrase "tour of differential equations", as opposed to "introduction to" or "essence of". I think of the relationship between watching this series and taking a course as being analogous to the relationship between touring a city vs. living in it. You'll certainly see a lot less with the tour since you're spending less time overall, but the goal will be to walk around some of the most noteworthy monuments and town centers with helpful context given to you by a guide. And just as someone who lives in a city may very well have never gone to visit some of the historical sites of their town, despite living there for years, many differential equations students may not always get the chance to zoom out and appreciate the central cornerstones of the subject amidst all the computations they are learning. I hope you enjoy the tour, but at the same time know that it is, by design, very different from taking courses on the subject.

all textbooks be like: "ASSUMING THAT THIS SYSTEM IS IN A PERFECT VACCUM WITH NO FRICTION"

I basically solve all kinds of differential equations for living: modelling soft body dynamics, rigid body dynamics, optics, whatever. I just wanted to give an advice to anyone aspiring to learn all this stuff. What they often teach you at school/uni is how to solve these equations analytically : sure, this is sometimes useful. However, in most real applications, it's more productive to be able to write a program to solve them rather than to do that "manually". Even the simplest explicit solver that's literally 2 lines of code, instantly covers 95% of all differential equations, even though its performance and accuracy are not the best. It's kind of a brute force solution. One might even start thinking that "hey, if my computer can just solve all these equations, why even bother studying them?". And the reason is very simple: by applying knowledge of certain types of DE's and by using more advanced solvers, one can increase performance and accuracy of these solvers by orders of magnitude. Which might make a huge difference: physics simulation in your game becomes more stable, your rendering algorithm can run your effects 60fps instead of 5fps, you can render your image in higher resolution on the same hardware, etc. My idea is, don't think of your computer as a replacement for your knowledge. Think of it as of an incredibly powerful tool, that still fully depends on your skill.

It's funny that I see this because one of my professors was literally telling me the same thing 2 weeks ago. He was basically telling my friends and I how understanding the concepts in our circuits 2 class is much more important than just solving the differential equation on paper. He was relating this to the same fact that technology has evolved to the point where computers can solve almost any differential equation much faster than any human and also went onto say that with advancements in AI, we could see even more changes in the engineering field. Then he talked about the importance of creativity and how it's one of the most important traits to be successful in any field.

@@cayanaraycaudhuri For me the most important part of finding a good solver(and just learning too) is to have a good framework to test it on. Something visual where properties of your solver have apparent influence on what you're simulating. Crunching abstract numbers is boring, in my opinion and does not give you intuitive understanding of how solver interacts with the system. In my opinion, learn theoretical background from the university course. While doing so, pick any application that's relevant to your field and that you like playing with and just start writing simulation programs. For example, if you're studying atmosphere, you can start with fluid dynamics -- implement any simple 1st order projective Navier-Stokes solver, then go conjugated gradients, then multigrid, etc. Or simulate atmospheric scattering by simple raymarching and then try to improve performance/precision with more advanced methods. Simulating subsurface scattering in cloud rendering works great too. For every narrow enough field (e.g, cloud subsurface scattering) most up-to-date resources are small research papers that you can find find for example on google scholar.

Yes. You are absolutely right. I am a student and I love studying fluid flows, vibrations, etc. Most real-world problems require large amounts of calculation that a human being cannot do. it is more efficient to code these equations in a computer and compute the solutions. Sometimes even when you do it on a computer, the simulations take hours or even days. In my case, this is called computational fluid dynamics. It is very essential to have knowledge of programming languages such as Python, C++. The same goes for Matlab.

I am a math major, and have taken classes in both ODEs and partial differential equations, and I still find my mind being blown at how this field is so important

I did my engineering course (given by the Mathematics department) on DEs a long time ago, and all I remember is the phrase "taking the D operator". Where you take it, I can't remember ... out the front of the equation, I believe. Anyway, it was so unrelated to anything we were doing in the rest of the course that sadly, we never used any of it. In fact, our electrical engineering lecturers effectively taught us what DE solving we needed to know using other methods. This led to strange anachronisms such as in 3rd year we were taking a mathematics class for solving the wave equation in two dimensions - on the first day I asked the lecturer if we would be looking at three dimensions, because we were already solving DEs in those situations for electromagnetic wave propagation in waveguides. Looking back on it all, I think we were being taught certain things just so the university administrators could tick an accreditation box somewhere saying "Yes, we've taught them how to solve DEs", but there was little or no thought towards how to teach the subjects in an integrated way (pardon the pun).

MATH Genius don’t let that bring you down. Math is a subject that needs to mature over time. And while you may always struggle with the subject, you will have moments of enlightenments that brings you forward. Small things like realising that no physical representation of things is ever exact. Perfect circles only exists as ideas, or mathematical objects, that no perfect circle has ever been actually observed by any living person anywhere in this universe. Infinity does not exist either, for the same reason. Infinite precision or size or anything at all are only possible as ideas. Take PI as an example. It is a transcendental number. This basically means that no one has actually been able to see the whole number PI. It goes on an on forever, with no (known) way of predicting the next number in the sequence of numbers. As soon as you say to yourself that you found enough digits of PI, you just literally cut off PI at som finite precision. And now we are back at the fact that there are no perfect real world objects of anything. Just ideas and math.

... and you probably heard that 0.999999... forever essentially is the same as 1? That 0.99999... = 1. 0.99999... exists only as an idea. As soon as you have a physical representation of the number 0.9999... means you cut it off at some point, making it finite contrary to infinite. If you actually think through all the number 9’s all the way to the end, well you can’t, because it never ends. So the only thing you can say about the number is that the more nines you add to the end, the closer and closer it goes towards 1, that in the border or transition to “infinity” you realise that you can’t put any numbers between 1 and 0.9999... neither can you distinguish the numbers from each other. They are really the same number.

@@randomdude9135 MYD is focused on using a cool trick or perception to make the problem easier, so you do "less math" if that's what you wanna call it. Numberphile (through my experience) introduces a concept or question, and presents it iin a cool way. Or just general math news, information or topics. Their problem videos are sort of like MYD... or just cool proofs (Idk anymore I don't follow Numberphile that much). 3B1B is meant to create a more deeper and truer understanding of math. I know that sinking feeling of frustration where you just can't get it, but the other dude answered my points. My biggest advice for 3B1B is simple. PAUSE. At 3:08 for example, simply pause, think it through and continue. This WILL take time, but you have to pause to understand Grant's intuition, rather than seeing it as a math virtuoso sharing his stuff with other math virtuosos. At 3:08, I'm assuming you don't understand how the derivative graphs check out. It's actually simple (see what I mean? PAUSE). So the first function (the blue one) is the function describing the ball trajectory. Like, the function (call it f) that when you apply it against time, gives the trajectory of the ball. Now, you might be confused why its derivative is a straight line (I'm assuming you know derivative roughly relates to slopes/gradients). If you think about it, that downward line is showing the VERTICAL VELOCITY of the ball. When the ball is thrown, its upward velocity decreases. Why? Because gravity is constantly reducing how fast it goes up (because gravity) pulls down. Now, per unit time, gravitational acceleration (or deceleration) on earth actually stays constant. It's not like at this time you are pulled hard to the ground but at other times you can float. That doesn't happen. So, for the red line, it actually makes sense that it is linear. How fast you are going up will slow down by some force, g (the gravitational attraction). G doesn't change, so it makes sense that the amount the graph is going down (upward velocity) ALSO doesn't change Now, if the slope of the red line is the same, the YELLOW line (that measures the slope of the red line) will be flat. Like, the slope of the red line doesn't change, and what happens when you have a line graph of a value that stays the same? That line will be flat (draw one in WolframAlpha or something to check if you want) So, the yellow line is flat! As for the length, that is a tradeoff for getting a good understanding

The pendulum, and the similarity with the predator/prey models finally showed me not only what was the fundamental concept that my education somehow sidestepped, but also showed me, in a sense, why I think I would never succeed in groking the formal approach any further than I did. In the end, I found success with other fields of Math but the failure in ODE has always gnawed away at me.

I am new to DE and is still confused by "in what circumstance do we use DE to describe?" and "what is solving DE about?" " DEs arise whenever it is easier to describe change than absolute amount." "....figuring out what a function is based on information about it's rate of change." That's why you are such a great teacher. Not only are you explaining the content superbly, but also explaining what we are doing now in course.

This explained the concept of ODE's better than any text book or lecturer I have come across. Thank you for this, i'm going back over my old university topics that I simply learned the method to solve and trying to understand whats going on and your videos are a massive help.

Protip: set your time steps when programming to increments of 1/(some power of 2) seconds. Because of the way floating-point numbers are stored in a computer, this generally gets you slightly better resolution than decimal values. (the decimal 0.1 is irrational when represented in binary)

Just like to add that calling numpy (the sine function in the video) with scalar input (inside of the time-loop), is waaay slower than just using math.sin (due to overhead). As you move to vector input, numpy of course quickly outshines python's inbuilt math functions by orders of magnitude :D

​@@spunit262 I was once worried about Python's performance when I started to use it in early 2000's. At that time, we worked on Pentium 120 Mhz and I had to sort a list of 50,000 3-tuples many times and I wondered how to do it efficiently. I had the chance to have a colleague who was a friend of Guido van Rossum, the author of Python, and knew about the design of Python so I asked my him for is opinion. His answer was: "Don't worry, just use the .sort() method." I was skeptic so I did benchmarked it and was flabbergasted by the speed which was almost instantaneous. I went back to my colleague to ask him for explanation. He told me that when Guido did designed and developed Python, he took precious care to well structure and design Python as for excellent performance. He told me that as a rule of thumb, if you use the proper methods and/or statements, you should expect performance to be 90% of the speed as if you wrote it in C. I have witnessed these results for the last 18 years and every time I encountered slow performances, I was able to rewrite a few lines of code that would get me back on track, with tremendous speed.

Jeeezus Christ, my head just imploded. I went to engineering school, undergrad and masters, but differential equations was such a mystery to me because I'm such a visual learner because I'm human, not a dog or a bat. I paid 10s of thousands of dollars to my unviersity to teach me these things but it never really made sense, so many why's? Years of just staring and pondering, then this guy just made my whole world click in one video, albeit in a very intense way. Great job man, if I had the money to spare I'd give you a lot, but for now, I'll just support you on Patreon. Guys like you who can make such 'traditionally complex' knowledge accessible to the masses will be the real heroes of the future and you all need to be rewarded amply.

Me: the video is 30 minutes long, but I'll need at least an hour to make sense of it, if I don't already know the topic.

Great explanations! I'll have to steal that line about using differential equations when it is easier to describe how something changes rather than its absolute value when I teach ODEs again this fall. I will also have to work on this calm aesthetic that you have cultivated in your videos for my own. Instantly relaxing.

Being an aerospace engineering student I've seen a lot of differential equations, but this video still amazed me! It's really that good, and I also loved the LaTeX style

During my engineering undergrad our Control Systems teacher skipped state space entirely. I struggled to study it on my own several times but beyond going through the mechanics of solving the equations, never got a sense of it. This helps immensely. Thank you so very much!

I have to say... this video is amazingly well done. I can only imagine the amount of work that goes into making these visuals.

I'm a senior in high school, and I knew what differential equations are, how they often come up in physics everywhere. For around a year or more, every once in a while I've come back to this video out of interest, even though this depth of DEs is completely unrequired for me at this stage. Sadly each time I've found myself struggling to follow with the video, as in I understand what you're saying but I've been unable to grasp and visualize the animations. Today however (maybe my 5th or 6th) attempt, I could understand this entire video with a bit of pausing and thinking, and WOW! The feeling of understanding the idea of phase space and the vector field as well as phase flow blew my mind!

I thank God that I find this GEM! This is the type of teaching I've been craving for. Thank you so much! This is going to help to topnotch my Engineering Board Exam this coming April 2021. Bless you! AUTO SUBSCRBED!!!! (I never sub this fast in any other channels, YOU DESERVE IT!!!)

I'm a fresh grad architecture student, which as you all may know, didn't actually care a lot about these kinds of things. I studied building simulations for calculating the heat flow within the building envelopes. But I always use these computer tools just like a "black box" in which I could just assign the input and see the output. Later on, I was forced to know what this black box was all about. I read a few journals and all these papers have all the mathematical terms that I don't even know, such as finite element method, partial differential equation, etc. I really thank god I stumbled across this channel. It covers up so much, I studied all the way from the start. The calculus series, the linear algebra series, and finally I could watch this and finally (kind of) understand how all the knowledge is really important in developing these computer tools that help the architecture field. I really hoped that a lot of people watch your videos because it kind of helps the way you see these scary mathematical theories.

This is great, very well done (as always). For beginners I think it's important that in algebraic expressions, you solve for a variable, whereas in differential equations, you solve for an entire function.
