Cell description

In this course module weeks begin on Wednesday.

This module serves as a review of first order linear differential equations. Most of these equations are general to the field of ordinary differential equations and the techniques used will inform subsequent modules.

Objectives

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • Solve first order initial value problems. 
  • Identify fixed points and classify sinks and sources. 
  • Describe solutions with a phase line. 
  • Identify stability and bifurcation. 
  • Discuss real world applications for logistics growth. 

How to complete this module:

  1. If you have not already done so view the instructor and course introduction, and read the other information posted in the Getting Started section. 
  2.  Also ensure that you have read through the Syllabus and Course Outline. 
  3. Introduce yourself to the class in the Introductions forum. 
  4. Watch the video lectures 1A through 1F. 
  5. Complete the reading assignment. 
  6. Participate in the discussion assignment. 
  7. Complete the problem assignment.

Module 1 Discussion - Logistic Growth

Cell description

We will be discussing videos (and other media) that demonstrate real-world applications of the math content we are working on each week. After viewing the video below, provide a responds to the prompt by clicking on the discussion link above.

Respond to the following prompt when you comment on the video. In addition, respond to at least two of your classmates posts.

  • The video explains logistic growth and some visualizations. Describe one other example of growth that captures some of the dynamics of logistic growth. 

The discussion activity is worth 12 points.
