This course covers first order and higher order equations and their applications. Topics include linear
first order and higher order equations, homogeneous and nonhomogeneous equations with constant or
variable coefficients, and systems of ordinary differential equations. Methods used to solve equations
include substitution methods, integrating factors, reduction of order, variation of parameters, power series
solutions, and Laplace Transforms. This course is intended as an introduction to the theory and
applications of differential equations and is the basis for many upper division courses in engineering,
physics, and mathematics. It is intended for the transfer student planning to major in mathematics,
engineering, operational research, physics, or other physical science. This course meets CSU general
education requirements. (FT) Associate Degree Credit & transfer to CSU and/or private colleges and universities.
