Course Description:
An introduction to the theory of ordinary differential equation and their applications. Topics will include analytical and qualitative methods for analyzing first-order differential equations, second-order differential equations, and systems of differential equations. Examples of analytical methods for finding solutions to differential equations include separation of variables, variation of parameters, and Laplace transforms. Examples of qualitative methods include equilibria, stability analysis, and bifurcation analysis, as well as phase portraits of both linear and nonlinear equations and systems. At the discretion of the Mathematics Department, section enrollments may be balanced.
