Prerequisites: MATH 143, 162, or MATH 172. NOTE: MATH 164 is not a prerequisite for MATH 165. Due to overlapping content, it is not recommended to take both MATH 163 and 165.
Matrix algebra and inverses, Gaussian elimination, determinants, vector spaces, eigenvalue problems. First order differential equations, linear second order differential equations with constant coefficients, undetermined coefficients, linear systems of differential equations. Applications to physical, engineering, and life sciences. MATH 162 (or equivalent) is a strict prerequisite and must be completed before taking 165. MATH 162 and 165 cannot be taken concurrently. This course uses the Tuesday/Thursday 08:00-09:30am Common Exam time.
