ODEcalc

ODEcalc is a reliable and easy to use application designed to help you set up, solve or understand differential equations. The software comes with several demo exercises designed to demonstrate its functionality, but also allows you to set up the hypothesis of different kind of equations.

Importance and appliance of ODEs

ODEs, or Ordinary Differential Equations are sets of mathematical algorithms that define functions with one independent variable and its derivatives. The software allows you to enter the initial value problems or boundary value problems (IVP, BVP), as well as to state you equation. With these parameters defined, it can easily solve any PDE, ODE or algebraic system of equations.
ODEcalc is capable of solving both simple and complex equations, in mathematics and nature sciences, with practical solutions in celestial mechanics, weather modelling, reaction rates in chemistry, genetic variation, population modelling, even economic trends. Other empirical studies, such as geometry and analytical mechanics also make great use of ODEs.

ODEcalc and its usage simplicity

ODEcalc is easy to use and allows you to define several parameters before solving a specific problem. Simply enter the ODE values, using X and Y for values and apostrophes to indicate the order of derivative, trigonometric, hyperbolic and logarithmic functions. Further on, you may establish the values given in the equation by answering certain questions.
For example, you can fill in the designated field with the ‘A’ parameter initial value, if such variable exists in the equation. Moreover, you can keep side notes in the dedicated field below the questions. You also need to specify if the problem fits the IVP or the BVP types and fill in the values for X and Y if required. Next you need to run the equation in DOS mode, using the DOSbox program.

Educational program for students and scientists

ODEcalc can help you simulate multiple types of ordinary differential equations and calculate parameters in applied sciences. The software is suitable both for students and scientists who wish to quickly calculate the results of a problem, based on given input. Moreover, the application is lightweight and can solve the problem within seconds.
