On completion of this module students should be able to
1. Solve linear first-order ODEs using the integrating-factor technique;
2. Solve separable ODEs by integration;
3. Solve arbitrary ODEs given a trial solution;
4. Identify the fixed points and the stability properties of autonomous ODEs, carry out a simple bifurcation analysis of such ODEs;
5. Construct and solve simple continuous mathematical models. The models may involve cooling, radioactive decay, population dynamics, harvesting, predation, disease outbreaks, drug delivery, interest rates, laser operation, or electrical circuits;
6. Construct and solve simple discrete mathematical models;
7. Compute the fixed points and periodic orbits of discrete autonomous maps and find their stability.
