Course Learning Outcomes

The student will learn the necessary topics in Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) and Linear Algebra to continue into deeper Mathematics and Engineering topics.  The successful student will have the prerequisite expertise to enroll in courses on, e.g., partial differential equations (MA3132) and numerical analysis (MA3232) and other 3000 level engineering/technical courses.
