Introduction with historical examples. First order ODE’s and
applications. Second order linear ODE’s. Linear ODE’s of higher
order. Series solutions to linear ODE’s.
In addition, some theoretical aspects will be studied in detail such
as the Picard existence/uniqueness theorem for initial-value
problems and convergence of series solutions. Throughout the course
numerical methods will be included and will be supplemented by the
use of Maple. Time permitting, construction and use of the matrix
exponential exp(tA) will also be studied.
