AME 302: Differential Equations, Control and Vibrations II

Second of a two-course sequence that introduces methods of differential-equation solution together with common engineering applications in vibration analysis and controls. Includes systems of first order linear equations, feedback control analysis and design, multidegree of freedom vibrations and partial differential equations.
