Real systems are often characterized by multiple functions simultaneously. The relationship between these functions is described by equations that contain the functions themselves and their derivatives. In this case, we speak of systems of differential equations. In this section we consider the different types of systems of ordinary differential equations, methods of their solving, and some applications to physics, engineering and economics.
