Model interacting quantities using simultaneous first-order differential equations, solve them by elimination and back-substitution, and interpret solutions including predator–prey dynamics.
Use differential equations in modelling in kinematics and in other contexts
Solve the equation for simple harmonic motion x=−ω2x and relate the solution to the motion
Model damped oscillations using 2nd order differential equations and interpret their solutions
Analyse and interpret models of situations with one independent variable and two dependent variables as a pair of coupled 1st order simultaneous equations and be able to solve them, for example predator-prey models
