No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1976–77 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Existence and uniqueness theorems; first order and second order equations; series solutions and special functions. Laplace transforms. Eigenvalues and eigenfunction expansions; applications to mathematical physics. Sturm’s comparison, separation and oscillation theorems.
As printed in the 1994–95 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
