3. (10%) For problem 6.3.6 write a program in Matlab, Octave, python, etc to sketch the phase plane and plot trajectories x(t) and y(t). Compare what you generate to solutions generated in pplane8.m (seehttp://math.rice.edu/~dfield/index.html). You must work on your own for this problem.

4. (30%) Collaboratively write a 1-3 page project proposal which will summarize the goals of your experiment, discuss experimental design, and cite any relevant literature.
