No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1986–87 to 1988–89 (before that, 1976–77 to 1985–86 used the number for Mathematical Modelling); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Simplification procedures in modelling. Physical dimensions and the principle of dimensional homogeneity. Buckingham’'s Pi Theorem. Scaling and introduction to perturbation theory. Systems of ordinary differential equations. Phase plane analysis. Stability. Emphasis on two and three dimensional physical systems.
As printed in the 1987–88 to 1988–89 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
Requirements, as last listed

Titled Modelling with Systeme of Differential Equations.
Discussian of linear and non-linear systems of ordinary differential equations, including matrix methods, phaseplane analysis, stability; emphasis is on two-dimensional systems. Applications are drawn from mechanical systems in vibration, ecological systems, epidemics and planetary motion. Elements of dimensional analysis, scaling, and perturbation theory are introduced briefly. Prereq: AM 260, or MATH 2308, or consent of instructor Antiraq: AM 280
