Abstract
AbstractWe discuss two problems which grew out of an introductory differential equations class but were solved only later, each after having been put into a different context. First, how do you find a rather complicated Lyapunov function with your bare hands, without using a fully developed theory (while reconstructing the steps leading up to such a theory)? Second, how can you obtain a global picture of the phase-portrait of a dynamical system (thereby invoking ideas from projective geometry)? Since classroom experiences played an important part in the making of this paper, didactical aspects will also be discussed.
