Matlab has facilities for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of any order. In this document we first consider the solution of a first order ODE. Higher order ODEs can be solved using the same methods, with the higher order equations first having to be reformulated as a system of first order equations. Techniques for solving the first order and second order equation...

Because the presentation of this material in class will differ from that in the book, I felt that notes that closely follow the class presentation might be appreciated.
