Linear Differential Equations

BU Digital Learning & Innovation

In this course, participants learned the mathematical theory of linear differential equations and their application to systems such as the mass-spring system and other linear oscillations. This course was part two of a three-part series. The other two courses, Introduction to Linear Differential Equations and Nonlinear Differential Equations: Order and Chaos, were highly recommended for a more complete understanding of the subject matter. The course was offered on edX.org between 2015 and 2017 and was part of the ACE (American Council on Education) Alternative Credit Project™.
