Las ecuaciones diferenciales son parte fundamental del estudio tanto de la matemática como de la ingeniería y la ciencia en general. Muchas leyes y fenómenos físicos pueden ser descritos mediante ellas. En otras palabras, el estudio de estos fenómenos requiere de la creación de un modelo matemático capaz de describirlo, el cual, generalmente se compone de una o varias ecuaciones diferenciales. De allí la importancia de contar con un sólido conocimiento en este tema.
