Course Coverage

Calculus IV is about Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). In this course, we will study the theory of ODEs, methods of solution, and their applications. The main topics include: First-order ODEs (Chapter 1), constant coefficient, second-order linear ODEs (Chapter 2) and applications to mechanical vibrations, the Laplace transform (Chapter 6) and applications to ODEs, power series methods for solving ODEs (Chapter 7), and linear systems of ODEs (Chapter 3).

Prerequisites

MA 213 or equivalent.

Course delivery

The course will be in-person. Canvas will be the main platform. You will find all the information about teaching, assignments, and other online resources through your canvas webpage. The information here is tentative and is subject to changes.
