Vector Functions and Matrix Equations

The video tutorial explains how to express a system of differential equations in matrix form. It begins by introducing the system of equations and the goal of writing them in matrix form. The tutorial then details the process of constructing matrices and vector functions, including the matrix P of T and vector functions X of T and F of T. It also covers the initial conditions and how to represent them in matrix form. The tutorial concludes with a summary of the process and emphasizes the importance of understanding matrix representation in solving differential equations.
