Objectives of the Course The main objective of the course is to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to understand, formulize, analyze and solve differential equations.

The aim of this course is to refresh the mathematical studies given in freshmen year and to present and solve engineering model and systems.
Engineering problems modelled by differential equations include;
1. The formulation of a real-world problem in mathematical terms; that is, the construction of a mathematical model.
2. The analysis or solution of the resulting mathematical problem.
3. The interpretation of the mathematical results in the context of the original real-world situation.
This is done by giving a clear exposition of the basic principles of differential equations to be extended and studied by time-domain and frequency analysis techniques, and also by introducing the student to the notion of computer-aided analysis.
Course Content Principal ideas, applications, and techniques of differential equations. Mathematical models. Numerical methods. First order equations. Theory of linear differential equations. Laplace transform methods. Eigenvalue and boundary value problems. Systems of linear differential equations. Power series solutions of differential equations.
