This course, taught to students in MIT’s Experimental Study Group, is equivalent to the Mathematics Department’s 18.03 Differential Equations. They satisfy the same prerequisites and are geared to preparing students for downstream science and engineering classes.

MIT’s Experimental Study Group (ESG) is one of MIT’s first-year learning communities. Small class sizes allow for teaching interactively and staying in close touch with what every student is finding easy or difficult.

An artistic illustration featuring a pair of lovestruck armadillos interacting with curves.
Phase portraits are used as a visual description of many dynamical systems, such as nonlinear oscillators,  populations of interacting species, economic models—perhaps even the cycles of mutual attraction of a pair of lovestruck armadillos.
