Differential Equations

Differential Equations. Instructor: Prof. William Kinney, Math and Computer Science, Bethel University. This course discusses analytic solution methods for ordinary differential equations, including special methods for first- and second-order systems, and transformation methods. Also it provides an analysis of systems of differential equations using linear algebra and qualitative phase plane techniques.
