Linear Algebra and Differential Equations

Division: Natural Science and Math

Department: Mathematics

Course: MATH 2250

Title: Linear Algebra and Differential Equations

Description: This course explores methods of solving ordinary differential equations which describe much of the physical phenomena in our world. Linear algebra topics will include systems of linear equations, matrix operations, vector spaces, and eigensystems. The course examines techniques for solving linear and nonlinear first-order differential equations as well as higher-order linear equations. Other topics will include initial-value problems, Laplace transforms, numerical methods, and modeling.

The course is designed for students with majors in specific engineering and science disciplines. Students with majors in other science and engineering disciplines, and students with a mathematics major should take Math 2270 (Linear Algebra) and Math 2280 (Differential Equations) instead of Math 2250.
