MATH 300 - Differential Equations

3 Credits

Prerequisite(s): MATH 226 and MATH 228. This course comprises an introduction to the basic concepts, theory, methods, and applications of ordinary differential equations. The course covers the following topics: elementary methods for solving first order differential equations, second order differential equations, Laplace transform method for solving higher order linear equations with constant coefficients and systems, the matrix method for solving linear systems with constant coefficients, eigenvalues and eigenvectors of matrices and their use for solving differential equations, series solutions method for solving second order linear differential equations, and numerical methods. Use of graphing calculator/computer should be expected.
