1. Scopes and Objective of the Course:

This Course reviews and continues the study of differential equations with the objective of
introducing classical methods for solving boundary value problems. This course serves as a basis
for the applications of differential equations, Fourier series and Laplace transform in various
branches of engineering and sciences. This course emphasizes the role of orthogonal polynomials in
dealing with Sturm-Liouville problems.
