MATH200 - Introduction to Differential Equations

This is the first in a series of short courses on differential equations. The purpose of this course is to introduce some of the concepts and terminology associated with differential equations.

The first three courses in this series are:

• MATH200 - Introduction to Differential Equations
• MATH201 - First Order Differential Equations
• MATH202 - Applications of First Order ODEs

As more courses are developed, this list will be expanded. The course outline for this course is as follows.

• Introduction
• The derivative
• Notation
• Differential Equation Classification
  • Ordinary Differential Equations
  • Partial Differential Equations
  • Linear vs Nonlinear Differential Equations
  • The Order of a Differential Equation
  • Homogeneous Equations
• Some Simple Examples
• A Non-Linear Example
• Summary

This course assumes knowledge of differential and integral calculus or MATH126.
