Article Context

Description

Students will learn some basic MATLAB functions for working with differential equations. 

They will also work with other utilities such as desmos.com and dfield.jar for visualizing dynamic plots and slopefields. 

It is assumed that students have had at least some experience with interpreting exponential and logistic differential equations. 

However, there are ample opportunities for review of these ideas if necessary.
