Chapter 11. Solving Systems of Linear First Order Differential Equations
In This Chapter
Reviewing the basics of matrix operations
Calculating the determinant
Figuring out eigenvalues and eigenvectors
Seeking out the solution to various systems
This chapter is all about solving systems of linear first order differential equations and practicing various techniques involved in solving systems. First, you work out your matrix-handling skills by adding matrices, multiplying them, and finding their determinants. Then you practice finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Finally — drum roll please — you tackle solving some systems of differential equations.
