Math53: Ordinary Differential Equations

Stanford University            Autumn 2004

 

Announcements

The final exams have been graded. The solutions are posted below.

If you want to take a look at your final exam, please stop by my office. I will be out of town for the first two weeks of January. After that I will be in my office somewhat irregularly, so you might want to send me an e-mail first.

SUMO Tutoring

The Stanford University Mathematics Organization (SUMO) provides a free tutoring service for students in the Math50s sequence. This tutoring service is available 6-10p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, in 380-381T, on the first floor of the math building.

 

Course Description

This is an introductory course in ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The primary focus will be on techniques for finding explicit solutions to linear ODEs. We will also study some nonlinear equations, elementary numerical methods, and ways of qualitatively describing solutions of ODEs without solving them explicitly.
