Additional Materials:

  • A table of integrals (the circled ones are to be memorized): pages 1, 2.
  • Direction field plotter
    Check/uncheck "Solution A", "Solution B" etc. to show/hide graphs of solutions.
  • Phase portrait (phase plane) plotter
    Enter coorodinates of a point in the "Intial Conditions" field and press the "Sketch Solution" button to plot the solution curve through that point. Then you can enter another point and press the button again to obtain another solution, etc.
