A difference equation is a mathematical equation that relates a function or sequence to its differences, often used to model discrete-time processes. Unlike differential equations, which involve continuous variables and their derivatives, difference equations deal with sequences, expressing how a term in the sequence is derived from previous terms. They are commonly used in fields like economics, engineering, and computer science to analyze recursive relationships and dynamic systems. The general form of a difference equation is ( y_n = f(y_{n-1}, y_{n-2}, ..., x_n) ), where ( y_n ) is the current term and ( x_n ) represents external inputs.

Difference in math means subtraction. To express the difference between 6 and 2 you would use the equation 6 - 2 = 4.
an equation has an equals sign.
The second difference of a quadratic equation being one indicates the second derivative at that point is positive. What you do from there depends on what property or transformation you're looking for with respect to the equation.
An expression has no equal sign whereas an equation does have an equal sign
A solution is the answer to an equation.

The difference is that first you have to understand the problem and translate it into an equation (or equations).
