Obtain the best 3rd order polynomial fit to the function f(x) = (1 + x)¹/² at x = 0.
Find the Wronskian of two solutions of the 2nd-order ODE:
t² x″ (t) + tx′ (t) + (t² − v²) x(t) = 0,
where is a given constant, without solving the ODE.
In the theory of systems of ODEs, what is a Saddle Node? Give a linear ODE system that
