ODE | 1.1 Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations

Welcome to the first lecture of the Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) module in the Maths for Quant Finance (MQF) program.

Differential equations form the mathematical foundation of many quantitative finance models, including asset pricing, interest rate modeling, portfolio optimization, and risk management. In this session, we begin with the fundamental concepts of ODEs and develop the mathematical intuition required for advanced quantitative finance topics.

🎯 What You'll Learn in This Lecture
✅ What is an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE)?
✅ Order and Degree of Differential Equations
✅ Dependent and Independent Variables
✅ Classification of ODEs
✅ Initial Value Problems (IVPs)
