Sociologists model the spread of rumors using logistic equations. The key assumption is that at any given time a fraction y of the population (0<=y<=1), knows the rumor, while the remaining fraction 1 - y does not. Furthermore, the rumor spreads by interactions between those who know the rumor and those who do not. The rate of change of those who know the rumor is proportional to product of those who know the rumor with those who do not. Set up a differential equation that models this problem.

An endowment is an investment account in which the balance ideally remains constant and withdrawals are made on the interest earned by the account. Such an account may be modeled by the initial value problem dB/dt = aB - m for t >= 0. The constant a reflects the annual interest rate and m is the annual rate of withdrawal.
