Replace missing Differential Equation courses

[waciumawanjohi]

Problem:

• The curriculum links to several Differential Equation courses that are no longer offered.

Duration: Oct 31

Background: The fall out from edX going for profit continues. Three differential equations courses have been removed from edX and do not appear to have been recreated on MITx:

• Differential Equations: Linear Algebra and NxN Systems of Differential Equations
• Differential Equations: Fourier Series and Partial Differential Equations
• Differential Equations: Fourier Series and Partial Differential Equations View a Wayback Capture of the previous edX Diff EQ series.

Proposal: Replace all of these courses with the MIT OCW Scholar version of Differential Equations.

Alternatives: Offerings of note:

• System Functions and the Laplace Transform: Does this course cover the material of the 3rd course that was removed?
• Differential Equations for Engineers from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology on Coursera
• Three course Differential Equations series from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology(KAIST) on Coursera. One and two and three.
• Two part ODE and Linear Algebra course from Rice on edX. One and two.
• Differential Equations and Linear Algebra: This is listed as Supplemental Resources on MIT OCW.
• Differential Equations For Engineers from IITM
• Fan favorite: Professor Leonard
