Ordinary differential equations are the mathematical formulation for a great variety of problems in
science and engineering, and frequently, two different problems are equivalent from a mathematical
point of view when they are formulated by the same equations. Students acquire the knowledge of how
to solve these equations (at least some types of them) using protocols and strict algorithms of
mathematical calculation without thinking about the meaning of the equation. The aim of this work is
that students learn to design network models or circuits in this way; with simple knowledge of them,
students can establish the association of electric circuits and differential equations and their
equivalences, from a formal point of view, that allows them to associate knowledge of two
disciplines and promote the use of this interdisciplinary approach to address complex problems.
Therefore, they learn to use a multidisciplinary tool that allows them to solve these kinds of
equations, even st…
