MATH 285 - Differential Equations

(3 units)
Theory and solving techniques for: constant and variable coefficient linear equations, a variety of non-linear equations. Emphasis on those differential equations arising from real-world phenomena.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 182  with a “C-” or better. Recommended Preparation: MATH 283  with a “C-” or better.

Units of Lecture: 3
Offered: Every Fall, Spring, and Summer

Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. use qualitative methods to assess the behavior of solutions without solving an equation.
2. demonstrate understanding of some of the different techniques for solving first and higher order homogeneous and nonhomogeneous equations: e.g. the integrating factor method, separable variables, the Laplace transform.
3. solve systems of differential equations with constant coefficients.
