Description
This is a complete college level course in Differential Equations with TONS of examples.
*** In order to get the most out of the course you should know Calculus ***
Basically just,
1) Watch the videos, and try to follow along. Try to do the problems before I do them if you can. If you can't, no big deal
2) After each section there is short assignment(with solutions).
3) Repeat!
If you finish even 50% of this course you will know A LOT of Differential Equations and more importantly just a lot of really solid mathematics.
Differential Equations is an awesome class not just because of the differential equations but because of all of the other key math techniques you learn in the process.
I hope you enjoy watching these videos and working through these problems as much as I have
Who this course is for:
- Students who want to learn Differential Equations.
- Students who plan to take Differential Equations.
- Students currently taking Differential Equations.
