MAT 256

Introduction to Differential Equations (3 Cr.)

Prerequisite: MAT 200

Description: This course introduces the basic theory and applications of first and second-order linear differential equations. The class will emphasize specific techniques such as the solutions to exact and separable equations, power series solutions, special functions and the Laplace transform. Applications include RLC circuits and elementary dynamical systems, and the physics of the second order harmonic oscillator equation.
