A Neurologist is a physician who treats nervous system disorders, including diseases of the spinal cord, nerves, and the brain. A Neurologist examines nerves in the head and neck, muscle movement, balance, reflexes, memory and speech.
(nonâ³linâ²Ä-Är) Not linear; not obeying a linear relationship. In mathematics, a linear equation may be given in the form y = mx + b, where x is the independent variable, and y is the dependent variable. A nonlinear relationship cannot be represented by such an equation.
In particular, a differential equation is linear if it is linear in terms of the unknown function and its derivatives, even if nonlinear in terms of the other variables appearing in it. As nonlinear equations are difficult to solve, nonlinear systems are commonly approximated by linear equations (linearization).
