Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

Bloom's Taxonomy. (1) Remembering: The notion of linear and non-linear ODE. The notion of existence of solutions and uniqueness of solutions for a linear and non-linear ODE. The notion of stability for a linear ODE, for a system of linear ODE's and for a vector linear ODE. (2) Comprehension: Study the existence and uniqueness of solutions of a ODE. Methods for finding the formula of the general solution of an linear ODE and studying their stability. Study systems of linear ODE's. (3) Applying: Study related real world problems. (4) Evaluating: Teaching secondary school courses.

General Competences
