El Niño Temperature Anomalies Modeled by a Delay Differential Equation
Delay differential equations are differential equations in which the derivative of the unknown function at a certain time depends on past values of the function and/or its derivatives. Max J. Suarez and Paul S. Schopf used such an equation to model the El Niño phenomenon. This worksheet demonstrate how Maple's dsolve command can be used to solve a delay differential equation numerically.
