High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Differential equations rose in prominence during World War II in calculating the accurate trajectory of ballistics, both rocket-propelled and gun or cannon type projectiles. Originally, mathematicians used the simpler calculus of earlier centuries to determine velocity, thrust, elevation, curve, distance and other parameters. New weapons, however, such as Germany's giant cannons, the "Paris Gun" and "Big Bertha", and the V2 rocket, meant that projectiles would travel hundreds of miles in distance and dozens of miles in height, in all weathers. As a result, variables such as diminished wind resistance in thin atmospheres and changes in gravitational pull reduced accuracy using the historic methodology.
