Description

Differential equations arise in many situations where one wishes to make a mathematical model. Most of the time equations cannot be solved explicitly. This course develops some of the methods used to extract “qualitative” information about the behavior of solutions. It draws on linear algebra to a great degree and may help motivate some of the features of that subject.

Topics covered

A second course in ordinary differential equations in the real domain.
