Objective of the course
After the course the student should be able to
- Solve first order linear and certain types of non-linear differential equations.
- Classify stability of equilibrium for first order differential equations with parameters.
- Know existence/uniqueness theorem for initial value problem of differential equations.
- Know the concept of linearly independent solutions and particular solutions of n?th order linear differential equations and be able to superpose solutions.
- Solve linear differential equations with power series around ordinary points.
- Classify linar and almost linear autonomous systems of differential equations with stability of equilibrium.
- Solve systems of linear differential equations with constant coeffisients.
- Make face portraits and direction fields for aotonomous systems in dimenstion 2.
- Know basic theory for Fourier series and use this to solve differential equations..
- Use the merthod of separtation of variables on simple partial diferential equations with boundary and initial value conditions that lead to development of Fourier series.
- Use Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue theory on standard problems from separation of variables.
