MATH 489
Differential Equations II

Credit:  3 or 4 hours.


Treats systems of linear differential equations (including the necessary matrix theory), and then concentrates on nonlinear systems, studying their dynamics by means of phase plane analysis and other methods. Provides applications of nonlinear systems to physics and biology. 4 hours of credit requires approval of the instructor and completion of additional work of substance. Prerequisite: One of MATH 284, MATH 285, MATH 286, MATH 441.
