Course Description
A study of sequences, Taylor Polynomials, infinite series, tests for convergence and the power series. An overview of ordinary differential equations; the initial-value problem; exactness and integrating factors; and Bernoulli and higher-order equations with forcing functions. Also looks at undetermined coefficients and variation of parameter methodologies; the basis for solution space and applications to mechanical and electrical engineering. Provides an introduction to numerical solutions by Euler, Milne and Runge-Kutta. Highlights ideas and contributions of L'Hopital, Fourier, Srinivasa Ramanujan, Wronski and Sophie Germain. Graphing calculator is required.
