Differential Equations with the Math Sorcerer
Complete Differential Equations Course with TONS of worked problems and assignments:)
Description
This is a complete college level course in Differential Equations with TONS of examples.
*** In order to get the most out of the course you should know Calculus ***
Basically just,
1) Watch the videos, and try to follow along. Try to do the problems before I do them if you can. If you can't, no big deal:)
2) After each section there is short assignment(with solutions).
3) Repeat!
If you finish even 50% of this course you will know A LOT of Differential Equations and more importantly just a lot of really solid mathematics.
Differential Equations is an awesome class not just because of the differential equations but because of all of the other key math techniques you learn in the process. This course covers all the key techniques usually covered in most differential equations courses. After taking this course you should know a lot of differential equations and roughly the equivalent of what is taught in a college level course. The hardest thing about this course is the integration techniques, most of which are learned in Calculus 1 and Calculus 2. I have tried to explain these techniques when they come up so hopefully you can follow along and learn lots of math.
I hope you enjoy watching these videos and working through these problems as much as I have:)
