MATH 2930

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

An introduction to ordinary and partial differential equations. Topics include first-order equations (separable, linear, homogeneous, exact); mathematical modeling (e.g., population growth, terminal velocity); qualitative methods (slope fields, phase plots, equilibria and stability); numerical methods; second-order equations (method of undetermined coefficients, application to oscillations and resonance, boundary-value problems and eigenvalues); and Fourier series. A substantial part of this course involves partial differential equations, such as the heat equation, the wave equation, and Laplace's equation. MATH 2930 and MATH 2940 are independent and can be taken in either order; they should not be taken in the same semester.


Prerequisites MATH 1920.
