Ordinary differential and difference eguations. 2400-M1IiERR
The basic notions of the theory of differential equations are derivative and differential which were introduced by G.W.Leibniz and I.Newton in 17th century. Since then we observe a fast progress in many domains of science. It seems that whenever we try to describe a dynamical process (evolution of a system) we have to use differential equations. The program of the Seminar is the following:
1. basic differential equations: equations with separated variables, first order linear equations, Bernoulli’s and Riccati’s equations, second order linear equations;
2.systems of linear equations with constant coefficients;
3. nonlinear systems of first order differential equations, critical points, phase portraits: introduction to qualitative theory of ordinary differential equation;
4. Lagrange and Hamilton equations;
5. difference equations and numerical solutions.
