Anne Arundel Community College

Differential Equations , Math 212

 

Course Description (from the College):  Analyze and solve ordinary differential equations of various types: separable, exact, linear equations of all orders, and systems of linear equations.  Master techniques including integrating factors, undetermined coefficients, the Wronskian, variation of parameters, reduction of order, power series, Laplace transforms, and numerical approximations.  Solve systems of linear equations using operator methods, numerical approximations, and matrix methods.  Apply these techniques to various applications including trajectories, mixing, growth, decay, vibrating springs, electric circuits and resonance.  Use a mathematical software system as an integral and substantial part of the course.Prerequisite:  MAT 192
