Nonlinear Differential Equations
Order and Chaos
Heads up! This course may be archived and/or unavailable.
Phenomena as diverse as the motion of the planets, the spread of a disease, and the oscillations of a suspension bridge are governed by differential equations. MATH226x is an introduction to the mathematical theory of ordinary differential equations. This course follows a modern dynamical systems approach to the subject. In particular, equations are analyzed using qualitative, numerical, and if possible, symbolic techniques.
MATH226 is essentially the edX equivalent of MA226, a one-semester course in ordinary differential equations taken by more than 500 students per year at Boston University. It is divided into three parts. MATH226.3x is the last part.

What people are saying
involving nonlinear differential equations
I did on other platforms topics related to the study of dynamical systems involving nonlinear differential equations systems.

perhaps 1 star less
Perhaps 1 star less that part 1 and 2, because I felt that on the perhaps most interesting chapter of this third part, the Lorenz system, we could have spend more time and there weren't any assessment questions on this last section of the course.
appropriate tools in order
The course digged deeper on the subject with an eye to the math and the appropriate tools in order to analyze the dynamics of some phenomena.
any assessment questions
retired electrical engineer
I am a retired electrical engineer with a EE masters degree and a second ComSci masters degree.
same high quality
For the rest the same high quality of the first 2 parts of which I copy my review down here.
ee non-linear control
In this course, I have been reintroduced to many things that I was first exposed to in an EE non-linear control systems course many years ago, but with much more depth and clarity in understanding.

challenging than
This part 3 was perhaps a little (but not too much) more challenging than part 1 and 2.
