'Differential Equations and Transforms' is a course offered in the second semester of B. Tech. programs at the School of Engineering, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham.
At the end of the course the student will be able to
CO1 | To frame and solve homogeneous and non-homogeneous ordinary differential equations corresponding to different p ractical scenarios. |
CO2 | Apply the geometric state space approach to the analysis of ODEs to understand qualitative features. |
CO3 | To find the Fourier series of arbitrary functions and to find the Fourier and Laplace transforms of functions. |
CO4 | Recognize the three basic types of partial differential equations and to use both analytic methods to the solution of hyperbolic, parabolic and elliptic partial differential equations. |
