Dynamics of a definition: a framework to analyse student construction of the concept of solution to a differential equation

In this note we develop a framework that makes explicit the inherent dynamic structure of certain mathematical definitions by means of the four facets of context-entity-process-object. These facets and their interrelations are then used to capture and interpret specific aspects of student constructions of the concept of solution to first order differential equations.
