Introductory ordinary differential equations, first- and second-order differential equations with applications, higher-order linear equations, systems of first-order linear equations (introducing linear algebra as needed). Further details can be found on the course syllabus.

Textbook: This course will follow Differential Equations: Computing and Modeling, 6th Edition, by C.H. Edwards, D. E. Penney, and D. T. Calvis.

Software: MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) will be used for several demonstrations. Learning and using MATLAB is recommended, but is not required for this course; however, assessed homework may require reading, understanding, and writing algorithms in MATLAB-like syntax. Alternatives to MATLAB (e.g. Python and Mathematica) may also be useful to students.

Other material: Handwritten class notes, MATLAB code, homework, and midterm solutions will be provided.
