Differential Equations and Speed

The post linked below the image, from Plus Magazine's Maths in a Minute series, briefly introduces the idea of differentiation and differential equations.

It makes an implicit link between prior knowledge of the relationship between speed, distance and time, and the more abstract notion of differential equations which is usually encountered by students later in their maths learning journey. The article also includes some links to further examples of differential equations and their use in real-world problem solving.
