Course Information

One of the standard techniques of problem solving is converting the given problem to a different (hopefully simpler) one. This course covers various methods for solving ordinary differential equations. Essentially all of these methods employ this technique. As well as being essential for the study of mathematics in its own right the material covered will be useful to students in physics, chemistry and engineering.

Topics

Variation of parameters, reduction of order, Laplace Transform; Fourier Series; an introduction to the Fourier Transform.
