Differential equations

Introduction

This unit extends the ideas introduced in the unit on first-order differential equations to a particular type of second-order differential equation which has a variety of applications. The unit assumes that you have previously had a basic grounding in calculus, know something about first-order differential equations and have some familiarity with complex numbers.

This unit is an adapted extract from the course Mathematical methods and models (MST209) [Tip: hold Ctrl and click a link to open it in a new tab. (Hide tip)]
