TATA71 Ordinary Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems

History of changes to the course (from 2020)

Fall 2020

No changes to the content of the course, just some minor polishing of the course programme. However, due to low class attendance the previous time the course was given (2018), and also for economical reasons, the scheduled time was reduced from 11+11 meetings to 11+4. Moreover, the course was given online because of the COVID-19 restrictions; practical information about this has been archived here.

Fall 2021

There were some changes to the homework assignments, based partly on wishes from higher powers (“EF-nämnden”) to incorporate more applications into the courses for the Mathematics programme. And one obvious difference compared to last year is that the course went back to ordinary classroom teaching. A side effect of the online teaching is that pre-recorded video lectures from the fall semester 2020 are available here on the course webpage. Except for that, only minor updates to the course programme and to the exercises.

Fall 2022

Only some minor changes in the course programme and the exercises. Some of the more demanding homework problems were split into more subproblems, to make them easier to solve (and to grade).

Fall 2023

Switched to a “flipped classroom” format, with the idea of making better use of the classroom time. Otherwise only minor changes in the course programme and the exercises.

Fall 2024

Various changes to the course programme and to the selection of exercises, including the homework problems. Moved all anwers and hints to a separate section at the end of the course programme, with hyperlinks back and forth, and also including full solutions to some of the exercises (which was something that several students had asked for in course evaluations).
