Announcements

The Practice Midterm and solutions are now available.

Here is a handout reviewing complex numbers. We'll discuss them briefly in class as well.

The Practice Quiz for Quiz 2 and solutions are now available. Please let me know if you find any errors.

Course Description

Differential Equations are one of the major applications of calculus, and certainly the most important in the physics and (most) engineering. This quarter we'll learn about first order (linear and non-linear) equations, second order linear equations, some applications, and Laplace transforms.

These are all (very) important, but also only the most basic differential equations and solution techniques. Hopefully in a later course you'll see more sophisticated models, complicated applications, and modern methods for solving them.
