MATH 320 Ordinary Differential Equations

This course serves as an introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) and their applications. Topics include: Existence, uniqueness and the stability of solutions; first and second order ODEs; applications; the Laplace transform; numerical methods; systems of ODEs and solutions of linear equations with constant coefficients. Developing applied models taken from a wide variety of fields and learning to communicate your understanding by writing effective arguments are key objectives of this course.
