linear equations, Laplace transforms,systems of first order linear equations, 
an introduction to numerical
methods, and stability questions for nonlinear differential equations. 
Applications include Newtonian physics,
electrical circuits, and population dynamics. Assignments are based on a textbook that is purchased
separately by the student.

Differential Equations will start April 15, 2008. Online registration for this course begins April 1, 2008.
