Current Schedule with Assignments

This textbook is same book we have used at FSU for over 30 years (well, we used an earlier edition back then). The textbook is designed to be flexible, many different classes on ODEs can be taught out of this textbook at several levels of difficulty. It is not the best book for self pacing.


The Class Syllabus(aka Handout) in PDF(Acroread Format). Acroread is freely available from Adobe.

Your private gradebook This has a username password which will be given in class. [You will also have to add your-code.html to the url above.]

The free garnet account can be obtained from this link. You can have your garnet mail forwarded to your favorite ISP via this link, or you can read your garnet mail directly from the web from this link or you can read your garnet mail by several other methods.


MAP 2302 ODE's or Diff-E-Qs is a fundamental course useful to mathematicians, scientists, engineers, and even social scientists.

Course Description From the Bulletin:

MAP 2302. Ordinary Differential Equations (3). Prerequisite: MAC 2312. Not open to students having credit in MAP 3305. Differential equations of the first order, linear equations of the second, systems of first order equations, power series solutions, Laplace transforms, numerical methods.

Hints on finding a TI-89 Calculator, note that a new version, TI-89 titanium, is the current model as of summer 2004. Pawn shops and Ebay have been the most inexpensive locations to obtain a TI-89 (Under $100). Here are two locations on the web where the price of a TI-89 is about $131 (Note shipping costs negate some of the cost advantage, and also the range in shipping costs.) Local stores seem to price this calculator at about $150 and up.
