Preclass assignment due with problem set # 26

Reading : Stewart:
7.1: Modeling with Differential Equations
7.2: Direction Fields and Euler's Method (only to the bottom of p. 516.)
7.3: Separation of Variables (only up to p. 525.):


Note: the reading is 12 pages total.
Key areas of focus :
What is a differential equation? What does it mean to be a solution to the differential equation? What is the difference between a general solution and a particular solution? How can the differential equation itself give you information about the solutions? Understand direction fields and their relation to the differential equation and its solutions. Begin to be familiar with modeling. In 7.3 Learn the technique of separation of variables.
