MATH-3430 (3) Ordinary Differential Equations

Involves an elementary systematic introduction to first-order scalar differential equations, nth order linear differential equations, and n-dimensional linear systems of first-order differential equations. Additional topics are chosen from equations with regular singular points, Laplace transforms, phase plane techniques, basic existence and uniqueness, and numerical solutions. Requisites: Requires prerequisite courses of MATH 2400 or APPM 2350 and MATH 3130 or MATH 3135 or APPM 3310 (all minimum grade C-).
