Solve first order separable and linear differential equations 3. Use substitution methods to solve homogeneous and Bernoulli equations 4. Solve exact differential equations 5. Solve the higher order linear homogeneous and nonhomogeneous differential equations 6. Solve the systems of linear differential equations 7. Solve differential equations by using Laplace transform method |
In this course basic concepts of elementary differential equations will be covered. The solution techniques for the different types of first order differential equations will be given and the solution methods will be taught. The higher order linear differential equations and solution methods will be discussed. The systems of linear equations will be covered with different techniques. Finally, the Laplace Transform method will be taught to solve linear differential equations. |
