Differential equations can be divided into several types. Apart from describing the properties of the equation itself, these classes of differential equations can help inform the choice of approach to a solution. Commonly used distinctions include whether the equation is: Ordinary/Partial, Linear/Non-linear, and Homogeneous/heterogeneous. This list is far from exhaustive; there are many other properties and subclasses of differential equations which can be very useful in specific contexts.

微分方程可分为几种类型。除了描述方程本身的性质之外，微分方程的类型有助于指导选择何种解决方案。常见的区别包括方程是否为: 常微分/偏微分方程、线性/非线性方程和齐次/非齐次方程。这份清单还很长，微分方程还有许多在特定的情况下非常有用的其他性质和子类。

An ordinary differential equation (ODE) is an equation containing an unknown function of one real or complex variable , its derivatives, and some given functions of . The unknown function is generally represented by a variable (often denoted {{mvar|y}}), which, therefore, depends on {{mvar|x}}. Thus {{mvar|x}} is often called the independent variable of the equation. The term "ordinary" is used in contrast with the term partial differential equation, which may be with respect to more than one independent variable.

常微分方程是只含有一个实变量或复变量的未知函数，其导数以及此函数的一些方程。未知函数通常由一个变量(通常由 {{mvar|y}} 表示)表示，因此这个变量依赖于 {{mvar|x}} 。因此 {{mvar|x}} 通常被称为方程式的自变量。“常微分方程”一词与偏微分方程一词相比，后者涉及一个以上的独立变量。

Linear differential equations are the differential equations that are linear in the unknown function and its derivatives. Their theory is well developed, and in many cases one may express their solutions in terms of integrals.

As, in general, the solutions of a differential equation cannot be expressed by a closed-form expression, numerical methods are commonly used for solving differential equations on a computer.

===Partial differential equations===

A partial differential equation (PDE) is a differential equation that contains unknown multivariable functions and their partial derivatives. (This is in contrast to ordinary differential equations, which deal with functions of a single variable and their derivatives.) PDEs are used to formulate problems involving functions of several variables, and are either solved in closed form, or used to create a relevant computer model.

PDEs can be used to describe a wide variety of phenomena in nature such as sound, heat, electrostatics, electrodynamics, fluid flow, elasticity, or quantum mechanics. These seemingly distinct physical phenomena can be formalized similarly in terms of PDEs. Just as ordinary differential equations often model one-dimensional dynamical systems, partial differential equations often model multidimensional systems. Stochastic partial differential equations generalize partial differential equations for modeling randomness.
