Credit 2
Learning Outcomes 1. Ability to recognize the order and linearity of an ODE and verifying
whether a given function is a solution or not. Find the solution of first
order
ODE.

2. Find the solution of linear second order ODE analytically.

3. Find the solution of linear second order ODE in series form.

order ODE: separable, linear, exact equations and equations reducible to
those forms. Integrating factor. Linear equation of higher order: Linearly
independent solutions, Wronskian, La Grange’s reduction of order,
complementary functions and particular solutions, the method of
undetermined coefficients, the variation of parameters, Euler-Cauchys
equation. Series solution method: power series, convergence, series
