ENEE 290 - Introduction to Differential Equations and Linear Algebra for Engineers

Introduces basic techniques in ordinary differential equations and linear algebra with applications in electrical and computer engineering. Topics covered include: first and second-order differential equations; matrices and systems of linear equations; vector spaces; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; linear differential equations of higher order; and systems of differential equations. The techniques will be reinforced through MATLAB projects. PREREQUISITE(S): MATH 182 and PHYS 161, both with a grade of C or better. Three hours lecture, two hours laboratory each week.

4 semester hours
