Aims |
|
To familiarize students with basic ideas and fundamental techniques to solve ordinary differential equations. To illustrate the breadth of applications of ODEs and fundamental importance of related concepts.
|
Learning Outcomes |
|
After completing the module students should be: - familiar with elementary techniques for the solution of ODE''s, and the idea of reducing a complex ODE to a simpler one; - familiar with basic properties of ODE, including main features of initial value problems and boundary value problems, such as existence and uniqueness of solutions; - well versed in the solution of linear ODE systems (homogeneous and non-homogeneous) with constant coefficients matrix; - aware of a range of applications of ODE. |
