Course Objectives This course is an introduction to the basic concepts, theory, methods and applications of ordinary differential equations. The aim of this course is to solve differential equations and to
develop the basics of modeling of real life problems.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to classify the differential equations.
  • will be able to use solution methods of first order ordinary differential equations.
  • will be able to solve higher order linear differential equations with constant coefficients.
  • will be able to use the Laplace transform method of linear differential equations.
  • will be able to analyze series solutions of linear differential equations.
  • will be able to solve systems of linear differential equations.
  • will be able to analyze approximate methods of solving first-order equations by using the method of succesive approximations and the Euler method.
Course Description In this course basic concepts of differential equations will be discussed.The types of first order ordinary differential equations will be given and the solution methods will be taught. Also, solution methods for higherorder ordinary differential equations will be analyzed.
