2MA101, Ordinary Differential Equations, Fall 2012

Introduction for the course fall 2012 takes place Wednesday the the 5:th of September 1pm in room D0043.

ODEs For ODEs we want to find a function of one variabel, which often is time, that fulfils the differential equation. In the companion course about partial differential equations the unknown function depends on two, three or four variables (space or space + time). For an introduction to the ODE course look here

Book: "Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems" by Boyce&DiPrima (John Wiley), 8:th or 9:th edition. Only difference between the two editions is in chapter 3 where from 8:th ->9:th edition the following subsections are changed 3.3+3.4->3.3, 3.5->3.4,.......3.9->3.8. In the ODE course we study chapters 1 (briefly), 2-4 (should partly be known) and especially 7 and 9 where all new interesting stuff can be found. If you only will study the ODE-course (not PDEs) then then the book "Elementary Differential Equations" by the same authors is sufficient. Other good books are "Ordinära Differentialekvationer" by Andersson&Böiers (many proofs but in swedish) and "Differential equations with applications and historical notes" by G.F. Simmons (many interesting historical notes).

Lectures/Exercises: Always on Wednesdays from 3 pm. After some theory we go over to computer room D1172. Introduction 5:th of September 1 pm at room D0043.
