DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF OBJECT ORIENTED COMPUTER SOFTWARE TO SOLVE SECOND ORDER ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH CONSTANT COEFFICIENTS
With the advent of computers, a lot has been achievable including the use of computers to solve Mathematics and Mathematically related problems. In this work an appraisal of the solution to second order linear ordinary differential equations with constant coeffcients is done. Methods of solution of homogeneous second order ordinary differential equations, Initial Value Problem inclusive are described, considering three cases: distinct roots, repeated roots and complex roots. Non homogeneous differential equations, IVP inclusive are also treated using the method of undetermined coeffcients. Object oriented software is developed to solve these second order linear ordinary differential equations with constant coeffcients. The core essence of this work is to develop a system which would be user friendly, reliable (accurate in solution) fast and timely to meet the demands which are not achievable by the traditional method.
