The purpose of this class is to obtain basic knowledge of mathematics to solve various problems related to engineering and science from an interdisciplinary view point. Focusing on ordinary differential equations, basic skills for both theoretical and/or numerical solutions are lectured.
By the end of this class, students will be able to:
(1) Judge which ordinary equations should be used to express the phenomena of interest.
(2) Solve the problem by using theoretical and numerical methods.
(3) Understand the implication of solutions and interpret the phenomena physically.
ordinary differential equations: theoretical solution: numerical solution: interdisciplinary view point: physical interpretation
