Chapter 2 - Part 1

This document discusses how to solve second order homogeneous differential equations. It explains that the characteristics equation is obtained by substituting the derivative terms into the general form of the equation. There are three steps: 1) obtain the characteristics equation, 2) determine the type of roots, and 3) find the solution referring to a table matching the root types to solution methods like factorization. Examples are provided to demonstrate solving equations based on whether the roots are distinct and real, equal and real, or complex.
