6. In the limiting case of infinitesimal or differential changes in variables, we obtain differential equations that provide precise mathematical formulations for the physical principles and laws by representing the rates of changes as derivatives. 7. The equation itself is very instructive as it shows the degree of dependence of some variables on others, and the relative importance of various terms. infinitesimal: 无穷小、无穷小的 infinite: 无穷大、无穷大的 variable: 变量 constant:？？ differential equation:微分方程 integral：积分、积分的 calculus: 微积分
