Great course - thanks for sharing!
Regarding being very good at differential equations: if I remember correctly, one way to approach solving them is to convert them to difference equations and solve them numerically (and not analytically). Is this true? As you can probably tell, I am not good at differential equations at all, so I was thinking about using difference equations as a crutch.
- jmuhlich 4y agoThe systems of differential equations produced by these types of models tend to be analytically intractable, so "numerical methods" are absolutely essential here. The phrase you want to look for is "initial value problem" (IVP): you know the initial values of the quantities described by the equations and you want to find out how those quantities evolve over time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for_ordinary_differential_equations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for_ordinary...
