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.

Very good course for learning about differential equations. It gets quite challenging as the weeks go on, but the instructor, Dr. Chasnov, is amazing and watching the lectures carefully and taking notes helps.

Also, one of the few courses I've seen recently where the intructor takes time to asnwer queries in the forums.

Covered a large amount of information. Definitely took a couple extra weeks due to how much free time I had around family and work, but overall helpful. Would like to see the final week maybe split into two weeks for greater detail. I felt like some of the material had to be rushed due to time constraints.

It was an amazing experience to relearn this course as I have already taught this course but using this online course surely I can teach this topic in a more proper and effective way. I would like to thank The course Instructor. Eager to join the your other available courses also on this platform.........

Excellent introductory course. I've been using Prof. Chasnov's courses to review and fill in some gaps in my knowledge for work. The pace of the lectures is perfect for detailed note taking, and the volume and careful selection of practice problems is just right for my purposes. This guy deserves a medal.

The content and materials for this course are excellent : The PDF of the course lectures and quiz questions with links to solutions will be a treasured resource.

I felt that we covered a lot and I am pleased to finally have some understanding of Fourier series and Laplace transforms and their application

very useful course. must have for any who dealing with vibration, heat transfer etc. Not much covered topics related to linear ODE with load having Delta function (and it's derivatives). But it's not a problem cause I've discovered this topic by myself, governing closed formula to solve such tasks.

It is a very well designed course. The assignments are cover across the content and are not too difficult or too easy. They are perfectly tailored to learning without making them unnecessarily complicated. The course is a great pre-cursor for a stochastic differential equation course.

Excellent course provided by Dr. Chasnov. Practice problems and an quiz that was just suitable for the material and perfectly paced. This is a very great course, and I'm pleased to have finished it. Thank you for this nicely organized course, which has taught me a lot of new things.

very interesting material, i have refreshed some theories from my calculus course at the university but I also discovered a lot of new problems and learned new methods and solutions. I also like the teacher profesor chasnov and I'm planning taking more of his courses in the future.

This is my second course with Prof. Chasnov, and I really enjoyed his style of teaching and the use of light board technology in the class. Throughout this course, I have learned quite a lot about differential equations and, more important, the application to a wide range of areas.

The best course I have ever found. I have given 5 stars to a lot of other courses but this course is definitely the best & I mean it. This course taught all the theories & applications of differential equations in a way that I found it to be unique. Thanks a lot to you, Professor

Very easy to learn and fabulous technique of teaching for Differential Equations. I hope the instructor "Jeff Chasnov" will start the courses on Complex Variables, Co-ordinate Geometry, Probability and Statistics. It will be great pleasure for me if he will start these courses.

An excellent course! I learnt a lot that will help me in modelling the kinematics, dynamics and control of robots. The way that the homework and quizzes are accompanied by detailed explanations makes sure that you are never stuck. I wish there were more of this course!

Chapters 1 thru 5 came in load an clear; Chapter 6 with the diffusion example just gave me problems. The course is good, but it does require you to do additional research to fine tune the understanding of the concept being taught. I learned an awful lot and enjoyed it.

Sir/Madam

I really enjoyed for Learning Differential Equations for Engineers. He explained the basics clearly and Excellent way of explain the concepts.Thank you sir .I thank the university of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to offer the course.

Great course - it is a beginner course for differential equations, but you need a sound basis in single variable calculus as the course gets difficult from week 3 onward!

Overall, I am very happy to have studied this course and learned a lot in the process.

This course is valuable for engineering students. Saying so, if you are a mathematics lover, do join this course as you will be expanding your knowledge. The lectures and reading materials are very helpful. I enjoyed being a part of this course. Thank you.

This is an excellent overview of the subject. Although I wish there was more coverage of partial differential equations, I understand the limitations of a four week course, and feel that Prof. Chasnov did an excellent job of covering the important topics.

I really learned a lot about differential equations from this course and enjoyed taking it. Prof. Chasnov explains things really well and the exercise problems and quizzes were well-designed and helped a lot in making sure the topics are well understood.

The professor explains everything in great details in a calm manner. After each video there is a small but not trivial exercise which I found very useful in consolidating the concept. Highly recommend for anyone who want to study Differential Equations.

Exceptional work. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to anyone starting differential equations. It will allows you to have a broad view of topics, before delving further into some of particular interest with other course (if you elect to).

Although personally speaking this course is the most difficult one in this series, the course arrangement is systematic and reasonable. Students can easily follow the course. Hoping Professor could come up more high-quality series courses like this!

excellent course! Jeff has awesome enthusiasm and explains things incredibly clearly and well. I really enjoyed this course. I am really looking forward to his future courses. Some tensor stuff or more applied pdes for fluid mechanics or or or... :-)

Another excellent course from professor Chesnov. Covers mostly the basics of differential equations but does it in a very straightforward and intuitive way. Interesting applications. Recommended as a refresher for other, more extensive courses.
