The 'Modelling with Differential Equations' OpenCourseWare is offered by The Open University's Mathematics and Statistics Department. Students interested in this course should have a basic comprehension of calculus and differential equations. This is the sixth in a series of ten Open University courses which focus on the applications of mathematical models. In this course, students will learn to apply Hooke's law on force, the fundamentals of harmonic motion and derive equations of motion for a variety of moving objects. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to determine the features of harmonic systems, including their amplitudes, phases and angular frequency and velocity. Students should plan on leaving at least 16 hours to complete this self-directed course.

This course includes workbooks that can be downloaded, along with online discussion forums and other resources. To download the course materials, or to learn more, visit the differential equations course page.
