COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This course is intended for all engineering students to have a firm foundation on differential equations in preparation for
their degree-specific advanced mathematics courses. It covers first order differential equations, nth order linear differential equations
and systems of first order linear differential equations. It also introduces the concept of Laplace Transforms in solving differential
equations.

The students are expected to be able to recognize different kinds of differential equations, determine the existence and
uniqueness of solution, select the appropriate methods of solution and interpret the obtained solution. Students are also expected to
relate differential equations to various practical engineering technology in solving and verifying solutions.

COURSE PRE-REQUISITES:

MATH 131E – Integral Calculus
