Free public beta until December 4, 2026: every course is open, no card needed. After that, the first chapter of each course stays free and full access is a one-time $39 ($19 for up to 100 founding members chosen for helpful feedback). Your progress is kept. How the beta works

trajectory

The path a solution traces in the phase plane, as opposed to its graph against t.

A trajectory is the image of a solution curve (x(t),y(t)) traced out in the phase plane as t varies -- unlike a graph against t, a trajectory shows no explicit time axis, only the path itself (with direction of travel usually marked by an arrow).
