A mathematics course at Arizona Christian University.
This course covers methods of finding solutions to the first order and second order differential equations. Laplace transforms are introduced to solve initial value problems when a forcing function with jump discontinuity is involved. The theory of linear systems is discussed in normal form and present matrix methods for solving such systems. This course includes several projects outside of class using MATLAB.
