Emphasize will be placed on 1’st and 2’nd order linear ODEs. Methods for solving them (e.g. variation of parameters, undetermined coefficients) will be studied. Some practical situations (e.g. coupled springs, electrical circuits, mixing problems concerning connected tanks) leading to systems of first order differential equations will be investigated. Basic aspects of Matrix Theory (i.e. matrix representation of a linear system of equations, matrix-vector multiplication, reduce row echelon form of a matrix, determinant of a matrix, inverse of a matrix, eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix) will be presented, as they will ultimately serve the purpose of solving linear systems of 1’st order differential equations. Methods for solving linear systems of first order differential equations (variation of parameters, undetermined coefficients) will be discussed as well. Reducing a higher-order linear ODE to a linear system of 1’st order ODEs, and numerical methods (Euler and Runge-Kutta) may also be discussed, as time permits. Software will be used to enhance the understanding of the topics.
