MATH 2320 - Differential Equations
Ordinary differential equations, including linear equations, systems of equations, equations with variable coefficients, existence and uniqueness of solutions, series solutions, singular points, transform methods, and boundary value problems; application of differential equations to real-world problems.
Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion, students will be able to:
- identify homogeneous equations, homogeneous equations with constant coefficients, and exact and linear differential equations;
- solve ordinary differential equations and systems of equations using:
- a) Direct integration
- b) Separation of variables
- c) Reduction of order
- d) Methods of undetermined coefficients and variation of parameters
- e) Series solutions
- f) Operator methods for finding particular solutions
- g) Laplace transform methods;
- determine particular solutions to differential equations with given boundary conditions or initial conditions;
- analyze real-world problems in fields such as Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, and Physics, including problems related to population dynamics, mixtures, growth and decay, heating and cooling, electronic circuits, and Newtonian mechanics.
