Where MATH-2103 counts

Required by 1 program:

PHYS HONOURS BSc (MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS STREAM)

Counts toward 4 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:

MATH 3-YEAR BA/BSc IN MATHEMATICS
MATH MINOR IN MATHEMATICS
MATH TEACHABLE MINOR IN MATHEMATICS (Senior Years)
MATH TEACHABLE MINOR IN MATHEMATICS (Early and Early/Middle Years)

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course covers further concepts and methods of solving differential equations. The contents include: power and Frobenius series solutions, matrix methods for systems of linear differential equations, and an introduction to partial differential equations (including Fourier series and the method of separation of variables).

Requisite courses

MATH-2102 [prerequisite(s)]; MATH-2106 and MATH-2203 (must be taken previously or at the same time as this course).

Restrictions

Students may not hold credit for this course and MATH-2112.
