Description This module provides students with an introduction to ordinary differential equations. Students will aquire the knowledge to understand science courses which use differential equations, and the know-how to solve common differential equations in engineering and science textbooks. The module will broaden the students horizon and develop their skills to cope with a non-core subject. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
