Course Description

In this course, I’ll introduce ordinary differential equations (O.D.E) including the following topics.

1. First order O.D.E., Chapter 2.1, 2.2, 2.6

2. Second order linear O.D.E., Chapter 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5

3. higher order linear O.D.E., Chapter 4.1, 4.2, 4.4

4. System of first order O.D.E., Chapter 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9

5. The Laplace transform, Chapter 6

6. The existence and uniqueness theorem for O.D.E.

7. An introduction to partial differential equation (if time is enough).
