Abstract
Differential Equations are somewhat pervasive in the description of natural phenomena and the theory of Ordinary Differential Equations is a basic framework where concepts, tools and results allow a systematic approach to knowledge. This same book aims to give a concrete proof of how the modeling of Nature is based on this theory and beyond. This appendix is intended to provide some concepts and results that are used in the text, referring to the student background and to textbooks for a full acquaintance of the material. We actually mention [2,3,5,7,10] as basic references on the subject.
