DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

MATH 132

Engr. CHRISTOPHER S. PALADIO

 COURSE DESCRIPTION
• This course is intended for all engineering students to have a firm foundation on
differential equations in preparation for their degree-specific advanced mathematics
courses. It covers first order differential equations, nth order linear differential
equations and systems of first order linear differential equations. It also introduces the
concept of Laplace Transforms in solving differential equations. The students are
expected to be able to recognize different kinds of differential equations, determine the
existence and uniqueness of solution, select the appropriate methods of solution and
interpret the obtained solution. Students are also expected to relate differential
equations to various practical engineering and scientific problems as well as employ
computer technology in solving and verifying solutions.
