Abstract:In this paper we discuss the application of differential quadrature method in the teaching of second order ordina ̄ ry differential equations. Based on the basic idea of differential quadrature methodꎬ the two-point boundary value problem of second-order ordinary differential equation is transformed into Gauss elimination method to solve linear algebraic equa ̄ tions. Through three teaching examplesꎬ we verifies the accuracy of differential quadrature method in solving linear and nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations in the teaching processꎬ so that students can realize that there exists a variety of methods in solving ordinary differential equations.
