Electrical engineering: Impedance
Description
The ratio of a sinusoidal voltage to a sinusoidal current is called "impedance". This is a generalization of Ohm's Law for resistors. We derive the impedance of a resistor, inductor, and capacitor. The inductor and capacitor impedance includes a term for frequency, so the impedance of these components depends on frequency.

AC circuit analyisis
If we limit ourselves to input signals shaped like sines or cosines, we can develop a whole AC analysis method to figure out what happens in circuits with changing signals. The methods are far simpler than solving a differential equation.
