Homework Statement
If I have a solution to a system of first order linear equations: <x,y> = c_1 e^{-3t} <1,-1> + c_2 e^{-t} <1,1> , how do I find the fundamental matrix psi(t) so that psi(0) = I ?

Homework Statement
Systems of first order equations can sometimes be transformed into a single equation of
higher order. Consider the system
(1) x1' = -2x1 + x2
(2) x2' = x1 - 2x2
Solve the first equation for x2 and substitute into the second equation, thereby obtaining a second order...
