Fundamentals of Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems, 6th Edition,
by R. Kent Nagle, Edward B. Saff and Arthur David Snider.
- Course Description
- MAP 2302 is a 3 credit course on linear Differential Equations.
Differential Equations are ubiquitous in the sciences and
engineering. This course is designed to serve students in
engineering, physics, mathematics and related areas with the aim of
understanding qualitatively, applying, and solving ordinary
differential equations of the most usual types.
We will cover much of Chapters 2, 4, 7 and some Chapter 8.
This includes First Order Equations (Linear, Exact, Bernoulli etc),
second order equations and some applications to circuits and mechanics and
Laplace transforms. Series solutions will be covered in Chapter 8.
If time and interest permits we may use some computer algebra package
to solve and plot DEs.
