The plane $\mathbf R^2$, which can be used for a geometrical interpretation of an autonomous system of two first-order ordinary differential equations (or one second-order ordinary differential equation). A phase plane is a special case of a phase space. See also Dynamical system (where this interpretation is called kinematic); Qualitative theory of differential equations; Poincaré–Bendixson theory.
