First Order Ordinary Differential Equation: Also known as
A first order ordinary differential equation is often seen referred to just as a first order differential equation by sources which are not concerned about partial differential equations.
Some sources hyphenate: first-order differential equation.
The abbreviation ODE is frequently seen, hence first order ODE for first order ordinary differential equation.
