Modelling with differential equations: oscillations

Modelling with differential equations: oscillations - for iBooks - August 01, 2011 02:04 - application/epub+zip ★ - 1 rating
This unit is intended to develop your understanding of Newtonian mechanics in relation to oscillating systems. In addition to a basic grounding in calculus, this unit assumes that you have some understanding of how to solve second-order linear constant-coefficient differential equations; how to t...

Modelling with Fourier series

Modelling with Fourier series - for iBooks - August 01, 2011 02:02 - application/epub+zip ★★★★★ - 2 ratings
This unit shows how partial differential equations can be used to model phenomena such as waves and heat transfer. The prerequisite requirements to gain full advantage from this unit are an understanding of ordinary differential equations and basic familiarity with partial differential equations....

This unit is intended to further develop your understanding of Newtonian mechanics in relation to oscillating systems. In addition to a basic grounding in solving systems of differential equations, this unit assumes that you have some understanding of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. This study unit...

First order differential equations

First order differential equations - for iBooks - June 05, 2011 23:16 - application/epub+zip ★★★★ - 4 ratings
This unit introduces the topic of differential equations. The subject is developed without assuming that you have come across it before, but it is taken for granted that you have a basic grounding in calculus. In particular, you will need to have a good grasp of the basic rules for differentiatio...

Differential equations

Differential equations - for iBooks - June 05, 2011 23:15 - application/epub+zip ★★★ - 2 ratings
This unit extends the ideas introduced in the unit on first-order differential equations to a particular type of second-order differential equations which has a variety of applications. The unit assumes that you have previously had a basic grounding in calculus, know something about first-order d...
