Ordinary Differential Equations

Education facts

Code: MAGB01

- First and higher order ordinary differential equations - Systems of ordinary differential equations - Modelling of chemical reaction kinetics and population dynamics, for example - Methods for finding exact solutions - Classic solution theory: qualitative methods for existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependency regarding initial conditions and parameters - Analysis of solutions with the help of approximation theory: finite difference-approximation methods - Lyapunov's stability theory - Analysis of the large-time behavior of solutions and introduction to chaos theory. Instruction is in the form of lectures and classes. Students carry out an assignment individually and present it orally and in writing.
