This segment is the preface to the ordinary differential equations course. The instructor begins with casual greetings and notes that he has not posted new content for a month, then announces that he will begin teaching 'Ordinary Differential Equations' next semester. He displays and introduces the textbook used: 'Ordinary Differential Equations', third edition, and mentions the author Wang Gaoxiong. He explains that this video series emphasizes problem-solving methods and rapid mastery of knowledge, rather than extensive coverage of theoretical principles. At the end of the segment, he requests viewers' 'triple action', then prepares to begin the formal lecture.

Generated from the video's visuals and explanation; not verbatim speech.
This segment contains no mathematical derivation; it is mainly the course introduction. The instructor first greets the audience and explains that he has not uploaded any videos for about a month due to winter break, the Spring Festival holiday, and time taken to rest and adjust.
He then moves on to the main topic and announces that the next semester will cover "Ordinary Differential Equations." Only the course title is given here; no definition of ordinary differential equations is provided, nor is any equation form written.
Next, he introduces the textbook used for the course, stating that he uses the third edition of "Ordinary Differential Equations," and adds that the differences between the third and fourth editions are minor. The textbook cover and the words "Third Edition" are visible on screen.
Then he states that the author of this textbook is Wang Gaoyang, and writes "Wang Gaoyang" by hand on the right side of the screen as information about the textbook's authorship.
Afterward, he clarifies the orientation of this video series: it will not devote much space to theoretical principles but will instead focus on "how to solve problems," aiming to help viewers absorb substantial knowledge in a relatively short time. This is a statement about teaching methodology, not mathematical content itself.
Finally, he thanks the audience for their support, requests a "triple action" (like, subscribe, and hit the bell icon), and announces that the formal instruction on ordinary differential equations is about to begin.

The instructor says: 'Actually, Wang Gaoxiong's textbook can be fully covered by this single video. In this video, I will not explain too many theoretical principles; instead, I will focus on how to solve problems—delivering the greatest amount of knowledge in the shortest possible time. That is my goal.'
Method
Explanation
The instructor states that this video series does not emphasize theoretical principles but focuses instead on 'how to solve problems', aiming to 'deliver the greatest amount of knowledge in the shortest possible time'.
