The study of linear differential equations is very important for the fol-lowing reasons. First, the study provides us with some basic knowledgefor understanding general nonlinear differential equations. Second, manynonlinear differential equations can be written as summations of linear dif-ferential equations and some small nonlinear perturbations. Thus, undercertain conditions, the qualitative properties of linear differential equationscan be used to infer essentially the same qualitative properties for nonlineardifferential equations.
