REVIEW MATERIAL Existence Uniqueness

 

Textbook:

The textbook is Differential Equations : an Introduction to Modern Methods and Applications by James R. Brannan and William E. Boyce. I follow this textbook in the lectures and use it for some of the homeworks.

 

Assignments:

There will be 6 homeworks. The lowest score will be dropped from the average. Homework are due on Thursdays at the beginning of class.

Homework 1  Solutions : HW1 Solutions

Homework 2 Problem 30: Problem 30 Solutions: HW2 Solutions

Homework 3 Solutions: HW3 Solutions

Homework 4 Problems 15 and 16 from Textbook : here. Solutions: HW4 Solutions

Homework 5 Solutions: HW5 Solutions

Homework 6 Solutions:  HW6 Solutions

Course grade:

Homework: 20%

Midterm: 30%

Final: 50%

 

Prerequisite:

MATH 51 (or equivalent).

You should be familiar with differentiation of functions. You should also know the standard tricks for computing integrals of functions of a single variable (integration by parts, substitution, etc), and be able to use them in practice.

You should be familiar with vectors, matrices, systems of linear equations, determinants, and inverses of matrices.

 

Syllabus:

Linear ordinary differential equations, applications to oscillations, matrix methods including determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, matrix exponentials, systems of linear differential equations with constant coefficients, stability of non-linear systems and phase plane analysis, numerical methods, Laplace transforms.
