The course is designed to provide Software Engineers and Computer Scientists by knowledge of basic (core) concepts, definitions, theoretical results and techniques of ordinary differential equations theory, basics of power series and numerical methods, applications of the all above in sciences. All definitions and theorem statements (that will be given in lectures and that are needed to explain the keywords listed above) will be formal, but just few of these theorems will be proven formally. Instead (in the tutorial and practice classes) we will try these definitions and theorems on work with routine exercises and applied problems.

Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs)

What is the main purpose of this course?

The course is designed to provide Software Engineers and Computer Scientists by knowledge of basic (core) concepts, definitions, theoretical results and techniques of ordinary differential equations theory, basics of power series and numerical methods, applications of the all above in sciences. All definitions and theorem statements (that will be given in lectures and that are needed to explain the keywords listed above) will be formal, but just few of these theorems will be proven formally. Instead (in the tutorial and practice classes) we will try these definitions and theorems on work with routine exercises and applied problems.

ILOs defined at three levels

We specify the intended learning outcomes at three levels: conceptual knowledge, practical skills, and comprehensive skills.

Level 1: What concepts should a student know/remember/explain?

By the end of the course, the students should be able to ...

  • understand application value of ordinary differential equations,
  • explain situation when the analytical solution of an equation cannot be found,
  • give the examples of functional series for certain simple functions,
  • describe the common goal of the numeric methods,
  • restate the given ordinary equation with the Laplace Transform.

Level 2: What basic practical skills should a student be able to perform?

By the end of the course, the students should be able to ...

  • recognize the type of the equation,
  • identify the method of analytical solution,
  • define an initial value problem,
  • list alternative approaches to solving ordinary differential equations,
  • match the concrete numerical approach with the necessary level of accuracy.

Level 3: What complex comprehensive skills should a student be able to apply in real-life scenarios?

By the end of the course, the students should be able to ...

  • solve the given ordinary differential equation analytically (if possible),
  • apply the method of the Laplace Transform for the given initial value problem,
  • predict the number of terms in series solution of the equation depending on the given accuracy,
  • implement a certain numerical method in self-developed computer software.
