COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

To be successful, students should be able to:

1.  Identify differential equations as to order type and kind.

2.  Solve elementary differential equations, including separable and

   linear differential equations.

3.  Model and solve applied problems involving ordinary differential

   equations.

4.  Use numerical techniques to approximate solutions to differential

   equations.

5.  Solve initial value problems using Laplace Transforms with tables.

6.  Apply Taylor series to solve differential equations around both

   singular and nonsingular points.

7.  Solve systems of differential equations using matrix techniques and

   Laplace transforms.

8.  Distinguish Euler-Cauchy differential equations from Euley-Caucher

   differential equations.

Topics and Scope

1.  Ordinary Differential Equations.

    Linear differential equations with applications, special types of

    nonlinear differential equations, numerical methods including 4th

    order Runge-Kutta.

2.  Introduction to Laplace Transform.

    Laplace transform and inverse, use of tables, application to linear

    differential equations.

3.  Series solutions of Differential Equations.

    Differential equations with Taylor's series solutions, method of

    Frobenius, Bessel and Legendre differential equations.

4.  Systems of Diffential Equations.

    Solution by (the operator method, Laplace transform, and matrices).

    Applications to include coupled spring-mass systems and compartment

    analysis.

Assignments:

1.  The student will have daily outside reading, problem set assignments

   from required text(s), or instructor chosen supplementary materials.

2.  Instructional methodology may include, but not limited to: lecture,

   demonstrations, oral recitation, discussion, supervised practice,

   independent study, outside project or other assignments.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 25 - 50%
Homework problems, Exams
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 30 - 65%
Performance exams
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 5 - 25%
Multiple choice
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 1 - 10%
WRITING ASSIGNMENTS

Representative Textbooks and Materials:

Text(s) required of each student will be selected by the departme

a committee of the department, or the responsible instructor from the

books currently available. Choices in the past have included:

FIRST COURSE IN DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH APPLICATIONS,(6th) by

by Zill: PWS, 1997.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS: Computing and Molding (2nd) Edwards and Penney.
