In the article, adapted to the school course, the second order linear differential equations with constant coefficients and trigonometric free terms are investigated. The basic elementary methodological approaches to solving the equation are given. The solutions of the second order linear differential equation with constant coefficients and trigonometric free terms are investigated, which is a model of many phenomena. In addition, the applied values of the equation and its solutions were noted. The results obtained are presented in the form of theorems. The main novelty of the study is that these results are proved and generalized by elementary methods. These conclusions are proved in the framework of the methods of high school mathematics. This theory, known in general mathematics, is fully adapted to the implementation in secondary school mathematics and developed with the help of new elementary techniques that are understandable to the student. The main purpose of the research is to develop methods for solving a non-uniform linear differential equation of the second order with a constant coefficient at a level that a schoolboy can master. The result will be the creation of a special course program on the basics of ordinary differential equations in secondary schools of the natural-mathematical direction, the preparation of appropriate content material and providing them with a simple teaching method.
