ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS GABRIEL NAGY Mathematics Department, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, 48824. AUGUST 16, 2015 Summary. This is an introduction to ordinary di erential equations. We describe the main ideas to solve certain di erential equations, like rst order scalar equations, second

1 Eulers method. Let us start this introduction to the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. (ODEs) by something familiar.

Otherwise, we are dealing with a non-homogeneous linear DE. If the differential equation does not contain (de- pend) explicitly of the independent variable or ...

the differential equation d dt P(t)=kP(t) is homogeneous. A solution of an ordinary differential equation is a function which satisfies the equation at all points in the domain of the function. Exercise 1–2. Show that the function P(t)=ekt solves the differential equation above. (Note that the domain of the function ekt is all real numbers t ...

What follows are my lecture notes for a first course in differential equations, taught at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

This set of lecture notes was built from a one semester course on the Introduction to Ordinary and Differential Equations at Penn State University from 2010-2014. Our main focus is to develop mathematical intuition for solving real world problems while developing our tool box of useful methods.

A differential equation, shortly DE, is a relationship between a finite set of functions and its derivatives. Depending upon the domain of the functions involved we have ordinary differ-ential equations, or shortly ODE, when only one variable appears (as in equations (1.1)-(1.6)) or partial differential equations, shortly PDE, (as in (1.7)).
