Relation to Other Units
This unit develops the ordinary differential equations material in Core Mathematics. Partial differential equations are treated in a separate unit, Applied Differential Equations 2. Together with Calculus 2, these courses provide essential tools for mathematical methods and applied mathematics units at Levels 3 and 4. Calculus 2 is recommended but not required as a corequisite.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this unit students will be able to:
Transferable Skills
Lectures - 33 sessions in which the lecturer will present the course material on the blackboard. Students are expected to attend all lectures, and to prepare for them by reading notes, handouts or texts, as indicated by the lecturer. The lectures are 3 per week, on weeks 1 to 11 - no class on week 12 .
Problems classes - 10 sessions with the lecturer, in which problems will be worked through as a demonstration, on the blackboard. Students are strongly encouraged to attend all problems classes.
Homework assignments - 10 problem sheets will be given out, one per week. Students will be required to turn in selected problems from the sheet, which will be marked by the postgraduate teaching assistants.
100% Examination.
Raw scores on the examinations will be determined according to the marking scheme written on the examination paper. The marking scheme, indicating the maximum score per question, is a guide to the relative weighting of the questions. Raw scores are moderated as described in the Undergraduate Handbook.
