Second Order Equations: Wronskian and Linear Independence

Description

This lecture covers the definition of the Wronskian for two solutions of a second-order differential equation, the main theorem stating that solutions are linearly independent if the Wronskian is non-zero, and the demonstration of this theorem. It also explores the consequences of linear independence and dependence in the context of second-order equations.
