Course Description

Students comprehend that what kind of phenomena a differential equation expresses, what mean it has and what solution it gives. Then students study how to solve these differential equations.
Students deal with following contents.
1. basic of infinitesimal calculus
2. first-order ordinary differential equation :separable, exact differential, linear
3. second-order ordinary differential equation
Students can acquire knowledge about DP1 in this class.

Course Objectives

In order to express scientific and engineering phenomenon, researcher or engineer need to make differential equations which have independent variables such as time, space and so on. And then they need to solve them.
So goal of this class is that students can solve basic ordinary differential equation.

Grading Policy

Attendance more than two thirds, midterm exam (40%) and term end exam (60%).
The students will get simple explanations after these exams.
