MATH 3310 - Differential Equations for Engineering Majors

3 hours

First order linear equations, separable equations, second order linear equations, method of undetermined coefficients, variation of parameters, regular singular points, Laplace transforms, 2x2 and 3x3 first order linear systems, phase plane analysis, introduction to numerical methods and various applications. Topics include motion problems, electric circuits, growth and decay problems, harmonic oscillators, simple pendulums, mechanical vibrations, Newton’s law of gravity and predator-prey problems.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 1720.

Recommended for engineering majors. Only one of MATH 3310 and MATH 3410 may be used to satisfy requirements for a mathematics major or minor.
