Synopsis:

This course introduces students to the classical theory of ordinary differential equations (separable and linear ODEs) and also to bsics of numerical methods (errors in calculations and stability, numerical solutions of algebraic and differential equations and their systems). The course takes advantage of the synnergy between theoretical and practical point of view.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Solving ODEs by separation. Slope field, stability of equilibria.

2. Errors in computing.

3. Approximating derivative, order of method.

4. Numerical integration.

5. Numerical solution of differential equations (Euler method, Runge-Kutta).

6. Linear ODEs - homogeneous and non-homogeneous (method of undetermined coefficients, variation method).

7. Numerical solution of higher order ODEs.

8. Numerical methods for finding roots of functions (bisection method, Newton method, iteration method).

9. Finite methods of solving systems of linear equations (GEM, LU decomposition). Complexity of algorithm. Stability.

10. Iteration methods for solving systems of linear equations (Gauss-Seidel).

11. Systems of ODEs. Stability of solutions.
