Learning outcomes
The course presents basic methods for solving ordinary differential equations and their systems. The course have two parts. The first part introduces elementary theoretical properties of the systems of the ordinary differential equations and their exact solutions. The second part is an introduction to the numerical methods.
Student will acquire theoretical prerequisites for solution systems of ordinary differential equations and a skill of their numerical solution using appropriate numerical methods.
Prerequisites
