Abstract
This chapter shows how to solve systems of two linear first order ODE in two independent variables. Such a system has an associated characteristic equation and three classes of roots for the characteristic equation. The solution methods for all three cases are discussed both algebraically and graphically using what is called phase plane analysis.
