Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:

Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)

If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.

Description:	Ordinary differential equations are used in every field of science and engineering to describe dynamical systems. Students will be exposed to sophisticated solution techniques and analysis for the study of smooth dynamic systems. Students apply these methods to classical mechanics and electrical circuits.
Learning Goals:	Students will be able to:- solve first and second order differential equations --- assessed by Quizzes 1-3- apply criteria for existence and uniqueness of solutions -- assessed by the mid-term examination- deduce qualitative properties of dynamical systems and identify asymptotic behavior -- assessed by Quizzes 4 & 5, and the mid-term examination- classify equilibria by their stability, invariant manifolds, and topological type -- assessed by Quiz #6- illustrate solutions with phase plane analysis -- assessed by the final examination- define and identify chaotic behavior in dynamical systems -- assessed by Quizzes 7, 8, 9- identify and describe bifurcations of parameterized dynamical systems -- assessed by Quizzes 9 & 10- apply differential equations to models of real-world systems -- assessed by Final Exam *The learning goals displayed here are those for one section of this course as offered in a recent semester, and are provided for the purpose of information only. The exact learning goals for each course section in a specific semester will be stated on the syllabus distributed at the start of the semester, and may differ in wording and emphasis from those shown here.
