    5-005-StiffDifferentialEquations-TechniqueNarrative
    This material introduces the topic of ``stiffness'' for a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE's), through a series of examples. Stiffness is a property that a system of ODE's may posses that make it difficult to solve numerically.
