Abstract

Differential equation with piecewise continuous argument (or DEPCA) will be discussed in this chapter.

There is no philosophy, which is not founded upon knowledge of the phenomena, but to get any profit from this knowledge it is absolutely necessary to be a mathematician.

Daniel Bernoulli (1700–1782).

When a mathematician has no more ideas he pursues axiomatics.

Felix Klein (1849–1925).
