For a better idea of what will be on the final, see the following link to the past exam archive of MA 26200: http://www.math.purdue.edu/academic/courses/oldexams?course=MA26200
If typically you can learn things only by seeing tons of examples, you should have a look at the textbooks "Schaum's outline of Differential Equations" and "Schaum's outline of Linear Algebra" (or one of their variants), which contains more than 1000 problems solved.
