Ordinary Differential Equations –

mth370

(3 credits)

This course focuses on the concepts related to and applications of ordinary differential equations. Students examine and solve first order, linear, and non-linear differential equations and higher order linear differential equations. Existence and uniqueness theorems are discussed. Students also explore and apply numerical methods and series solutions of differential equations.

This undergraduate-level course is 5 weeks. To enroll, speak with an Enrollment Advisor.
