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
