Differential Equations

By Mr.Mohamed Nishad Maniparamabth   |   Farook College(Autonomous)
Learners enrolled: 96
The course is developed to enable the undergraduate students to get a comprehensive understanding and applications of the differential equations.  This course includes the study of first order differential equations, higher order linear differential equations, boundary value and initial value problems, and applications of differential equations. The primary Learning Outcome for this course is Quantitative Reasoning, which is to understand and apply mathematical concepts and reasoning, and analyze and interpret various types of data. The Learning Outcome will be assessed through targeted questions on either the comprehensive final or an outside assignment. In an increasingly complex world, mathematical thinking, understanding, and skill are more important than ever.  Differential equations will provide students with the needed working knowledge of advanced mathematical concepts and an awareness of their relationship to complex problems.  Students wishing to major in the sciences or engineering are required to study differential equations.  It provides a solid foundation for further study in mathematics, the sciences, and engineering.  Differential Equations provides students with skills for proficiency in first order differential equations, higher order linear differential equations and a conceptual understanding of those topics, and the opportunity for an in-depth understanding of elementary differential equations and the meaning of their solutions.
