+## Differential equations
+
+One or more derivatives
+
+**Order** - highest power inside derivative  
+**Degree** - highest power of highest derivative  
+e.g. ${\left(dy^2 \over d^2 x\right)}^3$: order 2, degree 3
+
+### Verifying solutions
+
+Start with $y=\dots$, and differentiate. Substitute into original equation.
