MATH 220 Differential Equations

Topics covered include: basic methods for solving first order and higher-order differential equations with emphasis on linear vs non-linear. Modeling is presented. LaPlace Transforms are developed and used to solve differential and integral equations. Linear systems of differential equations are solved using Eigenvector analysis. Power series as solutions to differential equations are discussed. Optional topics may include, but are not limited to, Fourier Series and Partial Differential Equations.

 
NOTE: A graphing calculator may be required and will be discussed in class.
