This study guide covers differential equations, their role in mathematical modeling, and slope fields as a way to visualize them. It also explains Euler's method (BC only) for approximating solutions to differential equations. Key concepts include the logistic differential equation and interpreting slope fields. Practice problems and their solutions are included.
