Line 1: '''Forcing function''' can mean: * In differential calculus, a [[~~Forcing~~forcing function (differential equations)\|function]] that appears in the equations and is only a function of time, and not of any of the other variables. * In differential calculus as applied in climate science, [[radiative forcing]] * In interaction design, a [[behavior-shaping constraint]], a means of preventing undesirable user input usually made by mistake. * A forcing function is any task, activity or event that forces one to take action and produce a result. {{disambig}}
