MATH 302 - Ordinary Differential Equations

Credit(s): 3

ORDINARY DIFFERNTL EQUATIONS
Component: Lecture
Solution and applications of initial-value problems for a single or a system of ordinary differential equations. Topics include the solution of first-order equations, linear first-order systems, linear second-order equations, and elementary phase plane analysis of nonlinear systems. Mathematical software will be used to study some of these topics.
