HW -
Topic 0

HW 0 is optional.   It's a review of derivatives and integration.   We use these techniques a lot throughout the course so it would be good to review if you need to do so.

Topic 2

We are SKIPPING topic 2.   
This topic is about when first order equations have unique solutions.   
Check it out if you are interested in more theoretical matters.
