What will I learn?
This Ordinary Differential Equations Course takes you from physical modelling to clear outcomes using a straightforward falling-body setup with linear drag. You will pick realistic parameters from reliable sources, work out the main ODE from Newton’s laws, and solve it by hand and with computers using Euler, Heun, and RK4 methods. Learn to check how accurate your solutions are, make sense of terminal velocity and time scales, and put together short, well-organised technical notes for people who are not experts.
