    • The Runge-Kutta problem may give you an error message but you should still be able to complete the problem

Coming up

  • We start Chapter 5 in Week 6
    • Chapter 5 has some similarities with Chapter 2 in that you will be solving differential equations by hand, but in Chapter 5 you will be solving second order equations
