solve these equations. This subject also includes methods on how to solve initial value
problems by Laplace transforms and methods in finding solutions of systems of linear
differential equations.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of this course, the student should be able to:

1. give the basic definitions for differential equations;


2. identify and apply techniques of solving first-order differential equations;
3. use different methods in finding the solution of second-order differential equations;
4. determine the solution of higher-order differential equations;
5. solve differential equations using Laplace transforms;
6. find the solution of linear systems of differential equations; and
7. solve real-world problems modeled by ordinary differential equations.
