This video is a very new idea to this course. This lecture deals with non-linear autonomous systems of ODEs. To solve them, you must find critical points and sketch trajectories for the systems. A lot of sketching graphs and writing systems of differential equations from the pictures is done. Some actual concrete problems are also discussed. Jacobian matrices and actual problems using them are shown as well.
