Course Information:
This course is meant to familiarize the student with the elements of the theory of ordinary differential equations. It gives 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.

Prerequisite:
Math 2400 Calculus 3, and Math 3130 or APPM 3310 (min grade C). Similar to APPM 2360.

Course Text:
We will use the text "Differential Equations and their Applications", Fourth Edition, Martin Braun, Springer, 1992. We will cover most of Chapters 1 through 4 of the text.

Assessment: Lecture Hours and Venue:
MWF 9 a.m.- 9:50 a.m. HALE 260.

Office Hours:
2 p.m. - 3 p.m., Math 227 MWF
