Student Learning Outcomes

Upon the completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate the following outcome-based learning skills:

1. Solve first-order separable and linear differential equations and use these methods to solve applied problems.
2. Solve higher-order constant-coefficient linear differential equations and systems of differential equations and use these methods to solve applied problems.
3. Find Laplace transforms and inverse transforms and apply these to solve differential equations.
