Welcome to the MATH 220 homepage!
This is an introductory course in differential equations. Generally speaking, these are equations involving functions and their derivatives in a variety of different ways.
Apart from their intrinsic mathematical interest, differential equations are tremendously important from the point of view of applications, since they govern a wide range of phenomena and processes arising in everyday life. From fluid motion (rogue waves) to electromagnetism (Faraday's law), and from population dynamics (logistic equation) to finance and economics (Black-Scholes model), differential equations dominate almost every area of science and engineering.
Prerequisites: MATH 122 or MATH 142, or MATH 126 or MATH 146 with grade of C- or higher; previous or concurrent enrollment in MATH 290 or MATH 291 recommended.
