    2017-Craig_Tracy-Lectures on Differential Equations
    These notes are for a one-quarter course in differential equations. The approach is to tie the study of differential equations to specific applications in physics with an emphasis on oscillatory systems.

    The water flowing from the first bottle feeds the second one located below it. The same concepts of mass and energy conservation now lead to a non-trivial differential equation for the lowest bottle dynamics.
