Ordinary Differential Equations

Catalog description

Introduction to differential equations including the conditions under which a unique solution exists, techniques for obtaining solutions, and applications. Techniques include generation of series solutions, use of Laplace Transforms, and the use of eigenvalues to solve linear systems. Generation of exact solutions, approximate solutions, and graphs of solutions using MATLAB. 54 hours lecture, 27 hours laboratory. ADGE: 2; Transfer: CSU, UC; Cal-GETC: 2; C-ID# MATH 240. Prerequisite: MATH 3 with a minimum grade of C.
