What is the difference between order of a differential equation and degree of a differential equation?
The order is the highest derivative that appears; the degree is the power of that highest-order derivative after the equation is made polynomial in its derivatives.
The order is the highest derivative that appears; the degree is the power of that highest-order derivative after the equation is made polynomial in its derivatives. A reliable way to keep them apart is to focus on what each one is defined by, not just the similar-sounding words.
