3   Wil be able to give an asymptotic expansion for some integrals depend on small or large positive paremeter.
4   Wil be able to apply at least one regular perturbation method for a second order differential equation near the equlibruim point.
5   Wil be able to apply at least one regular perturbation method for a second order differential equation near the limit cycle points.
6   Wil be able to apply the method of matched for a linear differential equation near the boundary layer.
