- What does it mean for a system to be decoupled?
- What is the advantage to decoupling a system?
Discussions in this lecture are on homogeneous systems of differential equations. Variables are changed and systems are decoupled in this video. One of the more intriguing lectures in a while in this series, this video brings up some very cool ideas. Also, some example problems are done.
