Application of Differential Equations in Mechanical Engineering

3 Credits

Solution and application of differential equations in engineering, including linear methods underpinning solution methodologies. Applications of differential equations include: Newton’s law of cooling; linear and nonlinear dynamical systems; mechanical vibrations; beam theory; column buckling; heat/diffusion, wave, and Laplace’s equations. This course counts as a fifth mathematics course or an Engineering C elective for MEM students. Prerequisites: MATH 022
