Differential Equations

Fall 2011

The laws of nature are expressed as differential equations. Scientists and engineers must know how to model the world in terms of differential equations, and how to solve those equations and interpret the solutions. This course focuses on the equations and techniques most useful in science and engineering. Course Format This course has been designed for independent study. It provides everything you will need to understand the concepts covered in the course. The materials include: - **Lecture Videos** by Professor Arthur Mattuck. - **Course Notes** on every topic. - **Practice Problems** with **Solutions**. - **Problem Solving Videos** taught by experienced MIT Recitation Instructors. - **Problem Sets** to do on your own with **Solutions** to check your answers against when you're done. - A selection of **Interactive Java® Demonstrations** called _Mathlets_ to illustrate key concepts. - A full set of **Exams with Solutions**, including practice exams to help you prepare.
