Ordinary differential equations, including linear equations, systems of

equations, equations with variable coefficients, existence and uniqueness of
solutions, series solutions, singular points, transform methods, and boundary value
problems; application of differential equations to real-world problems.

B. Course Outcomes
After completing this course, you are expected to:

1. Recognize differential equations that can be solved by each of the three methods
direct integration, separation of variables and integrating factor method – and use
the appropriate method to solve them,
2. Use an initial condition to find a particular solution of a differential equation,
given a general solution.
3. Check a solution of a differential equation in explicit or implicit form, by
substituting it into the differential equation.
