Question

odesolve errors

I am using mathcad prime 3.1 and trying to solve a system of two 1st order ODEs with the odesolve command. I define the ODEs both in an explicit manner as well as in matrix form. In the first case the error that occurs is "Unable to form the derivative matrix" and in the second case "there are too few equations".

Attached is a copy of the file I am working on. Any help and ideas would be highly appreciated.

Many thanks,

George

For the future - in addition to the Mathcad Prime 3.1 worksheet don't forget to upload its version in PDF or XPS format for viewing those users who use a lower version of Mathcad Prime (3.0/2/1).

I don't have Prime 3, but I've attached a solution in Prime 2, together with a pdf file and the images below.  Hopefully one or more of these might help!
