Really not all that tough, probably a linear algebra class or along those lines. Yeah, just looks like solving for eigenvalues to me.

I'm sure there was a point in my life when I was finishing my mechanical engineering degree that I could have solved that equation. In the real world you never use that stuff, that's why I switched to marketing at my company as soon as I could. More money and more fun. <br />The "circles above the terms" denote derivatives. One circle is the first derivative, two circles is the second derivative, etc..., I think. It's been a while. Differential equations!!

I'm not sure what the circles above the terms are, but it could just be notation.
