Course objective

1. To give the basic principles of elementary differential equations. This will include parts mostly from the theory and methods of ordinary differential equations, but also include some stuff on basic partial differential equations. 2. To provide an ability for the recognition of ordinary and partial differential equation types and obtaining their general solutions and to instil how to apply basic techniques to solve ordinary and partial differential equations. 3. To make the students aware of the applicability of mathematics as a tool in engineering. 4. To show the ways how differential equations have been utilized in the modelling of physical systems related to chemical engineering. 5. To give a safe mathematical platform for the main chemical engineering courses.  

Learning outcomes

An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering.

An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.

Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

Course Content

First order ordinary differential equations, Higher order ordinary
