    2-001-NumericalMethodsComparisons-TechniqueNarrative
    This material teaches the basics of numerical methods for first order differential equations by following graphical and numerical approaches. We discuss the order of accuracy of the methods and compare their CPU times.

    1-009-Bifurcation-TechniqueNarrative
    We lead students to investigate first-order differential equations that contain unknown parameters. Students discover what happens to the qualitative behavior of solutions to these equations as these parameters vary.

    2-005-LinearizeItAll-TechniqueNarrative
    Linear approximations are often used to simplify nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for ease in analysis. The resulting linear approximation produces an ODE where closed form solutions may be obtained.
