Question

which video lectures on differential equation should i watch as a beginner ... ?

Answer 1

are you familiar with separable ? and taken calcIII and linear algebra before ?

Answer 2

if so try this :
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-03-differential-equations-spring-2010/video-lectures/

Answer 3

@rational plz reply

Answer 4

calcIII and linear algebra are prerequisites for that course..

Answer 5

@rational i have completed just calculus I and II .... can u plz suggest me the complete list of sequence of courses i should go through the right way....

Answer 6

@rational i am waiting for ur reply with great eagerness....

Answer 7

any there to answer me further....

Answer 8

take linear algebra and calcIII (multivariable calc) parallely

they are needed for doing differential equations

below is the logical order :

single variable calc(I and II)

linear algebra :
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-06-linear-algebra-spring-2010/video-lectures/

multivariable calc(calcII and III)
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-02-multivariable-calculus-fall-2007/video-lectures/

differential equations :

Answer 9

@rational single variable and multivariable cal come in calcaulusI and calculusII ? plz clear my this last point....

Answer 10

yep you wil get to see more variables in calcIII only, in MIT courses there is a overlap between II and III

Answer 11

@rational can i take calculusIII before linear algebra?

Answer 12

they have everything in I, II, III packed in two courses :
1) single variable (18.01)
2) multi variable (18.02)

Answer 13

calcIII uses some lienar algebra in the end - curl and del operators are defined in terms of determinants

Answer 14

if you knw basics in linear algebra like matrices/determinants, you can take calcIII directly

Answer 15

but linear algebra is a must for differential equations

Answer 16

@rational yup i know martrices/determinants....... rational plz i want to do further after differential equation... what i can ? you r helping me alot...

Answer 17

@sourwing may guide u better or @eliassaab ... im into engineering so i may not be the right person to guide lol...

Answer 18

@rational thanks a lot... where i can get sourwing or eliasaab...?

Answer 19

well you start at lecture 1. I mean there is a reason why it's called lecture one lol

Answer 20

@sourwing i just sent u a private msg.... plz answer it...

Answer 21

@sourwing i have done cal I and II and further suggest me a complete list plz ..

Answer 22

are you asking which course you should take next?

Answer 23

yup.....

Answer 24

well, take calc 3 just so you finish all the calculus classes.

Answer 25

@sourwing ... plz suggest me a list of 4-5 courses in sequence like now cal3 then and then and then? i hope u got my point..

Answer 26

well, are you a math major?

Answer 27

no i am 10th class math failed really..... but it is my goal to achieve

Answer 28

depends on which major you take when you're in college. Most engineering majors are required to take only up to linear algebra and differential equation.
None is prerequisites for the other. As soon as you finished calc2, you can take calc3, linear algebra, and differential equation in any order.

I took calc 3 and differential equations at the same time, and then took linear algeba

Answer 29

if you're not crazy about math, then just take math course at a time. I would take calc 3, then differential equation, then linear algebra

Answer 30

@sourwing and @rational thanks a lot really ..... thanks a lot...

Answer 31

no prob

Answer 32

its not a problem if u take
cal3+linear algebra together
they are two independent courses
