Material Detail

Differential Equations

This course focuses on linear ordinary differential equations (or ODEs) and will introduce several other subclasses and their respective properties. Despite centuries of study, numerical approximation is the only practical approach that has emerged to the solution of complicated ODEs ; this course will introduce you to the fundamentals behind numerical solutions. This free course may be completed online at any time. See course site for detailed overview and learning outcomes. (Mathematics 221; Mechanical Engineering 003; Computer Science)
