This course includes the study of first order differential equations, higher order linear differential equations, Laplace transforms, numerical methods, boundary value and initial value problems, qualitative analysis of solutions, and applications of differential in solving engineering problems.

Pre-requisite:

Applied Mathematics II

Learning Outcomes:

Differential equations will provide students with the needed working knowledge of advanced mathematical concepts and an awareness of their relationship to complex problems. Students wishing to major in the sciences or engineering are required to study differential equations. It provides a solid foundation for further study in mathematics, the sciences, and engineering.

Course Content:

Differential equation; basic concepts and ideas; geometrical interpretation of first and second order differential equations; separable equations, equations reducible to separable form, exact differential equations, integrated factors. Linear first order differential equations, Bernoulli‟s differential equation. Families of curves, orthogonal trajectories and applications of differential equations of first order to relevant engineering systems. Homogeneous linear differential equations of second order, homogeneous equations with constant coefficients, the general solutions, initial and boundary value problems, Doperator, complementary functions and particular integrals. Real, complex and repeated roots of characteristics equations. Cauchy equation, nonhomogeneous linear equations. Applications of higher order linear differential equations. Ordinary and regular points and corresponding series solutions; introduction to Laplace transformation.
