MATH 2320 - Differential Equations3 credit hours. 3 lecture hours. 0 lab hours.
Prerequisites: MATH 2414
Ordinary differential equations, including linear equations, systems of equations, equations with variable coefficients, existence and uniqueness of solutions, series solutions, singular points, transform methods, and boundary value problems; application of differential equations to real-world problems. Students may be required to use a calculator.
Measurable Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will: Identify homogeneous equations, homogeneous equations with constant coefficients, and exact and linear differential equations. Solve ordinary differential equations and systems of equations using: a) Direct integration, b) Separation of variables, c) Reduction of order, d) Methods of undetermined coefficients and variation of parameters, e) Series solutions, f) Operator methods for finding particular solutions and g) Laplace transform methods. Determine particular solutions to differential equations with given boundary conditions or initial conditions. Analyze real-world problems in fields such as Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Engineering, and Physics, including problems related to population dynamics, mixtures, growth and decay, heating and cooling, electronic circuits, and Newtonian mechanics.
Notes:
Any student enrolled in a mathematics course at Temple College will be eligible to attend a mathematics lab. The main campus lab will be open at least 20 hours each week and will be staffed by the lab director, regular math faculty members and peer tutors. Labs in Hutto, Taylor and Cameron will be open a limited number of hours as posted at those facilities. Hours vary each semester. Check with center directors for available tutoring at the Taylor, Cameron and Hutto locations.
While every effort has been made to align our pre-requisites with the majority of major receiving institutions, it is ultimately the learner’s responsibility to be aware of his/her institution’s particular pre-requisites.
MyMathLab is used in most classes.
