1) The document discusses ordinary differential equations that model free oscillations of a spring-mass system and electric circuits. 2) It derives the differential equation for simple harmonic motion of a mass attached to a spring as well as cases with damping. 3) Kirchhoff's voltage law is used to derive differential equations for simple R-L and R-C circuits driven by external voltages. 4) As an example, the differential equation for a series R-C circuit is solved analytically to find expressions for charge and current over time.
