MTH 165 - Linear Algebra W/Diff. Equ

Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

An introduction to the basic concepts of linear algebra: matrices, determinants, vector spaces and linear transformations, as well as to ordinary differential equations with an emphasis on linear differential equations, second order equations with constant coefficients and systems of differential equations. Applications to physical, engineering and life sciences. This course differs from MTH 163 in that it has more material on linear algebra (including a discussion of eigenvalues), and the only differential equations covered are linear ones with constant coefficients, along with systems thereof. For many students, taking MTH 165 will eliminate the need to take MTH 235 (linear algebra). Topics covered: elementary methods, linear equations, and systems with constant coefficients, solutions in series, special functions, phase plane analysis and stability, Laplace transform, extremal problems.
