Differential Equations Second Order Differential Equations Introduction In the previous chapter we looked at first order differential equations. In this chapter we will move on to second order differential equations. Just as we did in the last chapter we will look at some special cases of second order differential equations that we can solve. Unlike the previous chapter however‚ we are going to have to be even more restrictive as to the kinds of differential equations that we’ll look at
