Abstract
Almost everything we learned in Chapter 5 about second order equations can be easily seen to be true for the corresponding higher order equations. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary repetition, here, for the most part, we simply state the more general results and give examples. In a few cases, when the generalizations are not so obvious, we will provide the explanations and proofs.
