In this first semester of a year long graduate course in differential equations, we shall focus on ordinary differential equations and dynamical systems. The second semester, Math 6420, will emphasize partial differential equations. In this course, along with the Math 6420, we shall try to cover the syllabus for the qualifying exam in differential equations. Although some mathematical sophistication is required to take the course, we shall provide any backgroung materials needed by the class.
We shall follow Chicone's text covering existence and uniqueness of solutions of ordinary differential equations, continuous dependence on data, stability theory, Floquet theory, invariant manifolds. We shall discuss as many applications as we can. Topics include (depending on time):
