SPECIFIC COURSE INFORMATION


a. Course Description
This course is intended for all engineering students to have a firm foundation on differential
equations in preparation for their degree-specific advanced mathematics course. It covers first order
differential equations, nth order linear differential equations and systems of first order linear
differential equations. It also introduces the concept of Laplace Transforms in solving differential
equations. The students are expected to be able to recognize different kinds of differential equations,
determine the existence and uniqueness of solution, select the appropriate methods of solution and
interpret the obtained solution. Students are also expected to relate differential equations to various
practical engineering and scientific problems as well as employ computer technology in solving and
verifying solutions.
