Differential Equations & Slope Fields
by Anonymous
Draw slopes on a grid, then add curves that follow them to see what solutions to differential equations look like.

About this app
Differential Equations and Slope Fields is an interactive calculus learning app that visualizes how a differential equation assigns a slope at each point. Explore slope fields for equations such as y′ = x, y′ = y, y′ = x + y, and y′ = −x/y, then choose starting points to draw solution curves that follow the field. A separate logistic-growth section shows how carrying capacity, growth rate, and starting value affect an S-shaped curve, equilibrium, or decline toward capacity.
Use cases
- High school students learning differential equations and slope fields
- Teachers demonstrating solution curves during calculus lessons
- Learners exploring how initial points change differential-equation solutions
- Students studying logistic growth and carrying capacity
- Math practice sessions focused on visual intuition
Features
- Interactive slope-field visualizations for four differential equations
- Solution curves drawn from selectable starting points
- Three guided tabs: slope field, solution curve, and logistic growth
- Adjustable carrying capacity K, growth rate, and starting value
- Step-by-step missions with reset and next controls
