For with continuous on an interval , the Wronskian of two solutions satisfies , so
The exponential never vanishes.
Interactive explainers that let you move the mathematics: drag ε and watch δ answer, walk the topologist's sine curve, trap a subsequence by bisection, watch Newton's method fall into a cycle. 15 are free to play right here — the rest come with Trap Analysis.
Narrated walk-throughs of the trickiest ideas, made for this site — no ads, no recommendations pulling you elsewhere. Free to watch whether or not the interactive below is unlocked.

Every interactive explainer comes with Trap Analysis — along with the worked solutions, the per-option trap diagnosis and the counterexample objects. The papers, the book and the video map are free without it.
