ODE help needed

[TheoPetro]

I need to learn how to do the basic ones pretty quickly (under a day, test). I am looking for some examples that are worked or some way to quickly learn/memorize the steps to doing them.

Thanks

only works for a very small subset of ODE's

Just remember that the answer is almost always C*e^(something*x) or C*x*e^(something*x)

I know. But he said "basic ones."
