This course introduces definitions, terminologies, concepts and problem solving related to first and higher-order ordinary differential equations. It includes the problem of solving homogeneous and non-homogeneous linear differential equations with constant coefficients and the CauchyEuler equations. Modeling and applications of first and second-order differential equations are also emphasized. The method of Power Series is presented to solve linear differential equations with variable coefficients which possess solutions in the form of power series. Some operational properties of the Laplace Transform are introduced and applied to solve problems involving piecewise- defined periodic functions, generalized functions, integral and integro-differential equations. Course Objectives :

1. To study various known methods and approaches to solve first and higher-order homogeneous and non-homogeneous ordinary differential equations 2. To apply the various known methods in solving initial and boundary-value problems of some mathematical models. 3. To use the power series method to solve linear differential equations with variable coefficients which possess solutions in the form of power series. 4. To solve problems involving periodic functions, generalized functions, integral and integro-differential equations by using the method of Laplace Transform.
