An Introduction to Differential Equations and Linear Algebra, 2rd ed., Prentice Hall, 1999. Relationship of course to undergraduate degree program objectives This course serves students in a variety of engineering majors. The paragraph below describes how the course contributes to the college's educational objectives. The solution of engineering problems often amounts to the solution of systems of algebraic or differential equations. It is important to learn how to formulate a mathematical problem from a physical problem, and then how to solve the mathematical problem, either analytically or numerically.
Instructors require one or two midterm examinations plus a two-hour final examination.
