What is the difference between these two courses? ODE vs EDE?
Hopefully this is the right place to ask.
Does anyone know the difference between these two courses? And which one I should take?
I'll be taking Linear Algebra (2nd semester of LA) with either one.
I haven't decided which one to take yet because these courses look the same...
The thing is, other than Elementary Differential Equations II, all of the other courses have a "2xx" in them. For Elementary Differential Equations II, it says any of the three courses will serve as a prereq.
Thanks!

Elementary Differential Equations I said:First-order equations; linear equations; linear systems; Laplace transforms; numerical methods; trajectory analysis of plane nonlinear systems. Applications of these topics will be emphasized.
Elementary Differential Equations II said:Power series methods (ordinary and regular singular points, Bessel's equation); boundary value problems and separation of variables (Fourier series and other orthogonal series), applications to the vibrating string, heat flow, potentials.
Ordinary Differential Equations said:Review of linear systems; nonlinear equations and applications; phase plane analysis; Laplace transforms; numerical methods
Linear ordinary differential equations said:. Complex numbers, Laplace transforms, frequency reponse, resonance, step response, systems.
