About the Course

This course is all about differential equations and covers both theory and applications. In the first five weeks, students will learn about ordinary differential equations, while the sixth week is an introduction to partial differential equations. The course includes 56 concise lecture videos, with a few problems to solve after each lecture. After each major topic, there is a short practice quiz. At the end of each week, there is an assessed quiz. Solutions to the problems and practice quizzes can be found in the instructor-provided lecture notes.

Very good course if you want to start using differential equations without any rigorous details. Thanks to professor`s explanation everything is very clear. Good basis to continue to dive deeper.

One who has some knowledge of college physics would achieve a better understanding of a small part of the contents, but even without the knowledge, one would find the course a very helpful review of ways to solve differential equations.

Excellent course. Excellent teacher. Well balanced. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in this subject. I took Diff. E.Q. as an undergrad in 1974. Glad to see nothing has changed much in the past 46 years ... or make that 349 years.

Best course I've taken online.

Simple and explicit approaches, the teacher masters what he does. I am happy to take this course. I learned a lot of things and I feel that I have better skills in Diffenrential Equations as an engineer

I took this course as a refresher before I start my PHD and it definitely gave me what I wanted. It's simple enough to work well for beginners and comprehensive enough to give you all you need to start working more difficult topics.

Amazing Course. Every aspect of the differential equation has been explained thoroughly with an ample amount of practice and examples. The key outcome was to learn modeling physical problem as a differential equation and solving it

Excellent introductory or review course on ordinary and partial differential equations. I enjoyed very much this course. I am a retired engineering professor reviewing math applications, and I found this course very helpful.

This course really helped me learn differential equations. I have a decent understanding of the subject now and I have more confidence in my ability to handle differential equations when I encounter them in other courses.

Well balanced between video lectures and quizzes. The videos are very pedagogical and the right length to digest. A good reading material is provided as well, but the solutions to quizzed could be slightly more detailed.

Very useful, and highly recommended. I am taking a postgraduate course in mathematics and I used this course as a refresher in differential equations, as I have been mainly studying pure mathematics recently.

An excellent but challenging course. Dr. Chasnov covers a wide range of possible situations regarding ODE's and PDE's in depth, with high quality lectures, notes, problems and solutions.

Very Well done. Could use some supplemental videos of Calculus with SERIES and Fourier Transform (week 6 is A LOT) but it was very well done and manageable for the motivated student.

This was a very nice course! I used it to brush up my knowledge rather than learning from scratch, but I think it is well-paced and the lecture notes are superb! Thank you very much!

Excellent course taught by an excellent professor, Dr. Chasnov.

Just the right content, just the right pace and practice problems and quiz complemented the course material very well.

Explained well, good practice problems and there is a lecture notes PDF which helps with all the practice problems, Professor was also quick to respond to questions and comments.

THis is a really good primer for differential equations. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking for a begineer intro or even practice questions for their undergraduate courses.
