    This document contains the instructions for a mathematics exam on differential equations. The exam consists of two questions worth 15 marks each. Question one asks the student to (1) solve three ordinary differential equations, and (2) solve one differential equation using the method of reduction of order. Question two asks the student to (3) use the method of undetermined coefficients to find the particular solution of a differential equation, (4) solve one differential equation using an operator method, and (5) determine the distance as a function of time given the simple harmonic motion differential equation.
