Chapter 10 in addition to sections 1 and 2. Also, in section
9.4, your reading stops at the bottom of page 286.
+ Read the introduction and "Tension in one dimension"
on Wikipedia's Tension webpage.
++ Read the introduction to Wikipedia's Differential Equations page
+++ Read the introduction and Definition on Wikipedia's Taylor
Series webpage
