Abstract
Although we are concerned primarily with equations (differential and difference) of first and second order, the analysis of these equations applies equally to equations of higher order. The methods for dealing with these equations is in fact best elucidated by considering the nth order equations and then giving the results for the first and second order equations as specific examples. We first present the analysis for differential equations and then follow with the analysis for difference equations .
