On successful completion of this unit, the student will be able to:
Create and analyse mathematical models based on ordinary differential equations including finding an infinite series solution.
Examine the type of a given differential equation, determine the existence of a solution and if a solution can be obtained, select the appropriate analytical technique for finding the solution.
Utilise technology tools to find geometric, graphical and numeric techniques for the analysis of solutions.
Analyse and solve linear systems of equations using eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
Analyse and solve differential equations using Laplace transforms.
Differential equations are the most important means for mathematically modelling and understanding the behaviour and development of physical, chemical and biological systems. Topics covered in this module includes: Theory and methods of solutions of ordinary differential equations and systems of linear differential equations with constant coefficients. Power series solutions, Laplace transforms, and applications.
Teaching strategies include: lectures and tutorials, weekend schools; class discussions; role plays and practice of skills within class; presentation of instructional material in the form of printed documentation, DVD, video and audio tape and online interaction.
