    Description
    This course will cover solutions to first order ordinary differentialequations,includingseparable,linear,homogeneousof degree zero, Bernoulli and exact with applications and numerical methods. Solutions to higher order differential equations using undetermined coefficients, variation of parameters, and power series, with applications will be discussed, as well as solutions to linear and nonlinear systems of differential equations, including numerical solutions. Additional topics include matrix algebra, solutions of linear systems of equations, determinants, vector spaces,linearindependence,basisanddimension,subspaceand innerproductspace,includingtheGram-Schmidtprocedure,linear transformations, kernel and range, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, diagonalization, and symmetric matrices.
