"diffy Q" vs. "D.E." for "Differential Equations"

[Johanna N Franklin]

    It's very common at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, too, but only for
the computational undergraduate course.  The graduate courses would be
"O.D.E." for "ordinary differential equations" or "P.D.E." for "partial
differential equations."
