MAT-274 Differential Equations

This course is an introductory survey of ordinary differential equations. First order differential equations and methods for obtaining solutions are investigated. Methods include integration, variation of parameters, and integrating factors. These methods are generalized for second order differential equations. Additional methods include numerical approximation, Laplace Transforms, and power series.
