Course Content:

A brief introduction to differential equations: 

Basic definitions, Differential equations of first order (equations of separated variables, homogeneous, linear, exact). Linear differential equations of the second order (Homogeneous equations with fixed coefficients, solution of the inhomogeneous: Method of undetermined coefficients, Euler's differential equation).

Infinite calculus: 

Vector functions (Calculus of vector functions, arc length, unit tangent and perpendicular vectors). Functions of several variables (Partial derivatives, chain rule, directed derivative - slope of a function of two variables, maxima - minima of functions of two variables). Multiple integrals (Computation of double integrals, double integrals in non-orthogonal regions, double integrals in polar coordinates, triple integrals). Curves and surface integrals.
