We do not study 7.1--7.3 and if you cannot deal with 7.4--7.5 you are in deep trouble with 7.6+

According to Dr. Milman's announcement, Section 9.5 is now not on the midterm. But is Section 9.4 covered? The language in the announcement is a little ambiguous.

According to Dr. Milman's announcement, Section 9.5 is now not on the midterm. But is Section 9.4 covered? The language in the announcement is a little ambiguous.

Basically we consider neither model in the test or final but the problems which will be offered are similar (equilibrium points, classifications, phase portraits--like in section 9.4; special case: integrable systems when we can detect centers which are not detectable in the general settings--like in section 9.5). So better to read both. I provided some links to similar problems.
