This talk is an invitation to the magic world of (partial and ordinary) differential equations. A (partial) differential equation is an equation that contains an unknown function and its (partial) derivatives. Such equations are used to describe a wide range of physical systems or natural processes. Examples include many aspects of our daily life. Partial Differential Equations also play an important role in several areas of mathematics such as analysis, probability and differential geometry.
