MATH302 Differential Equations

In this course methods are studies to solve differential equations and then apply them to application problems. Solution methods of specific types of first order differential equations are followed by their application to growth and decay, heating and cooling, and voltage and current response to R-L and R-C circuits. Solution methods for solving higher order linear differential equations are followed by their application to predicting the motion of masses under free and damped conditions. Analogous electronic filter and control circuits are modeled and their time domain behavior is predicted, especially for sinusoidal inputs. The final technique studied is the use of Laplace transforms to solve linear equations, and their application to second order differential equations from simple circuits.
