The typical mathematician's skill set does not include sentence construction NOR proof reading something with words in it.

This decent little video explains basically what differential equations are, as some background for the subject in general.
This article is a bit better written than the one I posted above and focuses more on the early history of differential equations. Leibniz, Newton, (Jacob or James) Bernoulli, and Johann Bernoulli are arguable progenitors of the subject. It's about eight pages.
