Class Details

Historically, much beautiful mathematics has arisen from attempts to explain physical, chemical and biological processes. A few ingenious techniques solve a surprisingly large fraction of the associated ordinary and partial differential equations, and geometric methods give insight to many more. We will study techniques for solving first-order nonlinear equations, nth-order linear equations, systems, and partial differential equations. Topics include series solutions, the Laplace transform, stability, phase plane analysis, the matrix exponential, and separation of variables.
