Ordinary Differential Equations 1
MATC12 Ordinary Differential Equations 1, 7.5 credits, is an alternative-compulsory course for a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics. The course can be taken as an stand-alone course. The course is given at half-study pace during the second half of the autumn semester. The course is given in English.
Course Content
The course covers
- Some solution methods for first order equations
- Linear equations of higher order with constant and variable coefficients
- Power series solutions and Frobenius' method
- Linear systems with constant and variable coefficients
- Existence and uniqueness of solutions
- Introduction to numerical methods for initial-value problems.
Teaching
The teaching consists of lectures, seminars and computer exercises. Compulsory written assignments occur during the course.
Assessment
The examination consists of a written exam followed by an oral exam. The oral exam may only be taken by those students who pass the written exam.
