Lec 25 | MIT 18.03 Differential Equations, Spring 2006

[gaussmanv2]

Don't get me wrong, this lecture is fantastic, but since when did woody allen teach differential equations?

[MrBigEnchilada]

it would make more sense to do some in depth financial and economic applications in statistics, i think ODE's, multivariable, and linear algebra are very closely associated, and matrices is something we dont really cover until linear algebra :(|

[DrWeee]

now this is a professor who loves what he does is a teacher sharing his knowledge i wish i had more professors like this guy who actually cares about teaching and not their research.

@SamaelTePersigoaTi Thank you for your input, however this is not what I was asking. At my university, when Calc 3 is taken we assume we know matrices. When Difff EQ is taken, we take about three lectures understanding matrices, which you would translate into "more in depth" however, like you mentioned linear algebra would be the class you need to take to understand and fully comprehend matrices. My question was about MIT math structure and program, not what a matrix was. Thank you.

8:58 ROFL :DD

I wish they did some financial/economic applications instead of all physics =(

[KingOfShadows92]

@yyourfacee I know right! I'm a double math/econ major and I'm sick of seeing physics in all of math... it's not the only field math is used in :)

[GirlyVoice]

Why is it that we can assume that two differential equations share the same pair of exponentials? (10:00)

I mean labeling them with a single letter does indeed yield a solution but I'd like to know why we can say this in general.

[jeffsk]

its from the system of equations. if you plug in x to find y you will see that the equation will have the same exponentials.

[darkosminos]

Differentiation is fun!

[ahsan4845]

cool

[rideonwater2]

the smartest people are far from arrogant

[samn100]

what does this field of math apply to ?

[ggbbnm]

this is basically advanced calculus 3. But unless youre going to be a math major, or a mechanical engineer i suggest to avoid this class.

[magmavr6]

Does MIT incorporate Differential Equations to their Calculus program? The reason is because we separate them and usually matrices fall into differential equations classes

Yeah irrelevant lol but just curious

[qwAirGear]

Basically anything involving physics, meaning that no science or engineering major should be without this class. Anything which makes continuous models also uses this stuff.

[samn100]

By the way, im only 11.

[rockypatillas]

@samn100 EVERYTHING

professors i respect them man o.o

[willpower89]

your videos are great! thanks! :D
