TOP REVIEWS FROM DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS FOR ENGINEERS
I think this course is very suitable for any curious mind. You can learn very important and necessary concepts with this course.
The courses taught by Professor Dr. Chasnov are excellent.
I don't have a math or engineering background but this course has a great balance of simplicity and challenging problems that I can confidently take to higher level mathematics
The course materials are well prepared and organised. The teaching style is approachable and clear. I have learned a lot from this course. Thank you so much, and wish you all the best Prof. Chasnov!
Very good course if you want to start using differential equations without any rigorous details. Thanks to professor`s explanation everything is very clear. Good basis to continue to dive deeper.
