Ordinary Differential Equations
Phase portraits are graphical representations used to visualize the trajectories of dynamical systems in the phase plane. They display how a system evolves over time by showing the paths that solutions take through a multi-dimensional space, where each axis represents a different variable of the system. This visual aid helps in understanding the stability, behavior, and dynamics of various systems modeled by differential equations.
congrats on reading the definition of phase portraits. now let's actually learn it.
