  In this paper, Van der pol equation has been analyzed for stability and
bifurcation phenomena with and without forcing component. Analytical solution
of the Van der pol equation using Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) is compared
with numerical results obtained using MATLAB ode45 solver. Limit cycle analysis
has been performed at increasing order of nonlinear damping term. Different
scenarios of bifurcation have been studied with variation in control
parameters.
