many people only encounter "forcing" as applied in climate science, then they wind up here, and the sign posts were unclear |

Line 1:
'''Forcing function''' can mean:
* In differential calculus, a [[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.
