Course objectives
At the end of the course the SS will know basic concepts of the theory of differential and difference equations, especially: initial value problem, separable ordinary differential equations (ODEs), homogeneous ODEs, first-order ODEs, second-order linear ODEs especially with constant coefficients, methods of their solution and applications. difference calculus, linear difference equations, methods of their solution and applications. The SS will actively use the concepts in problem solving, in their follow-up study at the faculty and in their own lessons as school teachers.
Learning outcomes
After the completion of the course the students will a) acquire knowledge in the theory of ordinary differential equations; b) acquire skills in solving ordinary differetial equations (= ODE), such as separable ODEs, ODEs solved using substitution, linear ODEs of first order, linear ODEs of higher order with constant coefficients; c) have an important insight into the role of ODEs in mathematical modelling.
