This course deals with analytical, numerical, and geometric techniques for differential equations, including applications.
This course is a core part of 200 level maths (along with MATH201 and MATH203) and is strongly recommended to anyone who is considering majoring in mathematics or another subject that involves a high level of numeracy. It covers more advanced techniques in differential equations with interesting applications to many areas of science, commerce and engineering.
At the end of this course, students will:be able to use standard techniques to solve linear differential equations: variation of parameters, Laplace transforms, convolutions and Fourier series; demonstrate understanding of why these techniques work and when they will not; be able to make an appropriate choice of analytical, geometric or numerical algorithm for a given problem; be able to use these techniques in a variety of modelling applications, using appropriate software; have developed problem solving skills both as part of a team and as an individual; have developed written and oral communication skills, emphasizing the ability to explain what the mathematics means.
One of MATH103, MATH199 or EMTH119; and one of COSC121, COSC131 or other relevant experience as approved by the HOS
MATH262, MATH264, EMTH202, EMTH204
Students must attend one activity from each section.
