A series of examples that include some model development from basic principles and at least one specific example that uses the resultant differential equations has been developed. Some of these applications have been included here as additional examples of physical systems that involve first order ODEs, and as further illustration of the various solution techniques discussed in the course lectures. These examples use a mix of analytical and numerical techniques and some include simulation and plotting of the solutions within Matlab.

The currently available application areas and specific examples involving first order ODEs are listed below:
