Abstract

Linear differential equations have been well understood for some time and are an important tool for studying the nonlinear systems that most frequently arise in mathematical models of real world systems. Nonlinear systems do not usually have formula solutions, but with graphics, we can see the behaviors of the solutions and thereby “understand” the differential equations. Dynamic and interactive presentations provide students with a streamlined route to understanding these behaviors, resulting in immense power and efficiency that was not previously available at the undergraduate level.
