Ordinary Differential Equations Course
This course teaches ordinary differential equations using a falling-body model with linear drag. Students derive ODEs from Newton’s laws, solve them analytically and numerically with Euler, Heun, and RK4 methods, estimate parameters from trusted sources, interpret terminal velocity and time scales, and create clear technical reports for engineering audiences. It builds practical skills for real-world applications grounded in physics.
