Many phenomena in natural sciences and social sciences can be summarized as quantitative relationships expressed by differential equations. In particular, many laws in economics and finance can be described by differential equations. This course enables non-mathematics students to master the basic theories and methods of differential equations, and to cultivate their logical thinking ability and the ability to apply differential equations to solve practical problems. The course consists of two parts: ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations. The main topics include: first-order ordinary differential equations, high-order ordinary differential equations, linear ordinary differential equations, difference equations, basic partial differential equations (harmonic equation, heat conduction equation, wave equation), mathematical model of differential equations.

This course is meant mainly for students with basic Tibetan language skills (phonetics, grammar). Students strengthen those skills through intensive reading of Tibetan Buddhist Literature.

Among the handed-down literature in China, Tibetan literature is no less impressive than the Chinese literature due to its great variety and quantity. Tibetan literature is very deep and extensive, which not only provides an inexhaustible basis for the study of Tibetology, but also constructs a strict knowledge barrier for later generations. As an academic tool, Tibetan language plays an indispensable and irreplaceable role in the study of Buddhist philosophy. The advancement and promotion of Indo-Tibetan and Sino-Tibetan Buddhism as well as related research can be said to depend on the researcher’s language ability. Today, Tibetan Buddhism and related philosophical studies are increasingly dependent on the ability of researchers to study, interpret and interpret Tibetan texts, as well as to examine and collate multilingual materials.
