    Why is the right side called the input?

    Why is the right side called the "input?" I'm looking at linear, 1st order ODEs, like y' + p(t)x = q(t) The notes I'm looking at are calling q(t) the "input" of the system, but I'm not sure why. I understand how to solve the equations, but I must be looking at it differently or something...

    Does input exist? Is f(x) identical to y?

    So, a heated debate started over whether input really exists since the equals sign is a case of identity. For instance, x^2 = 16. x could either be 4 or -4, but both sides of the equation (both expressions) are really only expressing the same thing... the value: 16. One wouldn't normally...
