Differential Equations: Fourier Series and Partial Differential Equations (edX)
Learn to use Fourier series to solve differential equations with periodic input signals and to solve boundary value problems involving the heat equation and wave equation. Differential equations are the mathematical language we use to describe the world around us. Many phenomena are not modeled by differential equations, but [...]

Differential Equations: Linear Algebra and NxN Systems of Differential Equations (edX)
Learn how to use linear algebra and MATLAB to solve large systems of differential equations. Differential equations are the mathematical language we use to describe the world around us. Most phenomena can be modeled not by single differential equations, but by systems of interacting differential equations. These systems may [...]
