| Course Objectives | The course is designed to present other aspects of ordinary differential equations to the student who has so far seen the basic solution techniques. The emphasis is on existence-uniqueness and related questions; initial value, boundary value and eigenvalue problems are introduced within that concept. Examples and problems aim to clarify the theory. |
