- First-order ODEs (sections 1.1-1.8), 3.5 weeks
- First-order systems (sections 2.1-2.4), 2 weeks
- Linear systems of ODEs and linear 2nd order ODEs (sections 3.1-3.6), 2.5 weeks
- Forcing and resonance (sections 4.1-4.3), 1.5 weeks
- Nonlinear systems of ODEs (sections 5.1-5.2), 1 week;
Alternative: numerical methods (sections 7.1-7.4)
- Laplace transform methods (sections 6.1-6.2), 2 weeks
