Learning Outcomes

  • use qualitative methods to assess the behavior of solutions without solving an equation.
  • demonstrate understanding of some of the different techniques for solving first and higher order homogeneous and nonhomogeneous equations: e.g. the integrating factor method, separable variables, the Laplace transform.
  • solve systems of differential equations with constant coefficients.
