Part 1A Michaelmas

This is the first term of the Mathematical Tripos.

Course

Schedule recommended books

  • J. Robinson An introduction to Differential Equations. Cambridge University Press, 2004
  • W.E. Boyce and R.C. DiPrima Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary-Value Problems. Wiley, 2004
  • G.F.Simmons Differential Equations (with applications and historical notes). McGraw-Hill 1991
  • D.G. Zill and M.R. Cullen Differential Equations with Boundary Value Problems. Brooks/Cole 2001

Strategy

We need to learn Peter Lax's Calculus with Applications which introduces differential equations.

Other options:

  • This course has recorded lectures
  • A problem bank with solutions
  • The SciML book and YouTube lectures to fill in the discrete differential equations content
    • Teaches Julia for the computational projects we'll have to do later too.

Cambridge Lecture 1

We have access to the first Cambridge lecture here where he covers a review of calculus we're supposed to know. TODO
