    This document discusses how differential equations are commonly used to model physical systems by relating how rates of change in one variable depend on other variables and their rates of change. It notes that while differential equations describe these systems, other mathematical models like frequency response, transfer functions, and convolution are also useful tools for analyzing and solving differential equations. These alternative models allow engineers to study systems by examining how they respond to different input frequencies rather than just solving the underlying differential equations directly.

    Math Models for Systems

    • Many physical systems are modeled w/ Differential Eys


    ~ - Because physics shows that electrical (& mechanical!) components often
    I have "V-I Rules" that depend on derivatives

    a2 d 2y~t) + a1 dy(t) + aoy(t) = b1 dx(t) + box(t)


    dt dt dt

    ~ Given: Input x(t) I


    - ~, Find: Ouputy(t) 1

    This is what it means to "solve" a differential equation !!

    • However, engineers use Other Math Models to help solve and


    analyze differential eqs
    The concept of "Freq uenc y Res ponse" and the related concept of
    '' Transfer Function" are the most widely used such math n1odels
    ;.:, "f ourier 'fra nsform" is the rnath tool underlying Frequency Response
    Another helpful math model is called "Convolntion" q 311 6
