Course Description:
The construction of mathematical models to
address real-world problems has been one of the most important
aspects of each of the branches of science. It is often the case
that these mathematical models are formulated in terms of
equations involving functions as well as their derivatives. Such
equations are called differential equations. If only one
independent variable is involved, often time, the equations are
called ordinary differential equations. The course will
demonstrate the usefulness of ordinary differential equations for
modeling physical and other phenomena. Complementary mathematical
approaches for their solution will be presented, including
analytical methods, graphical analysis and numerical techniques.
The basic content of the course includes
-- first order equations
-- mathematical models
-- linear equations of second order
-- the Laplace transform
-- linear systems of arbitrary order and
matrices
-- nonlinear systems and phase plane analysis
-- numerical methods
Prerequisite:
MATH 255 or MATH 261 or MATH CC 255.
You should be familiar with everything on this
