Ordinary Differential Equations : PMA109
Department of Mathematics, Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, Patiala
Autumn 2024
The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.~Aristotle.
Course Description
Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) is a one semester, upper-level module that emphasizes the mathematics used to study the ordinary differential equations and these equations are studied from several different perspectives, mostly concerned with their solutions-the set of functions that satisfy the equation, and to analyse their properties. The students will become knowledgeable about system of ODEs. The course will also develop an understanding of the elements of analysis of ODEs. The course credit are 3.5 (3 Lectures and 1 Tutorial). The details are given in the Course Policies.
Instructor: Dr. Paramjeet Singh.
