Current Schedule with Assignments

for reference this is basically last summers assignments

A TI-89 Calculator is highly recommended (see below for sale hints).
The directory with ti89 hints.

ODE's

Our labs with appear here: lab 1 lab 2 lab 3 lab 4 lab 5

Our tests will appear here: test 1 test 2 test 3

Here is the allowed Table of Laplace Transforms for tests. Extra Laplace Problems Extra Series Problems

I can't find any old tests however, check out these Calculus 2 tests:

Test 3 of s01: The s01 problems 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10 are from our chapter 2 while problems 2, 3(again), 5, 6 are from our chapter 3.
Test 3 of f01: The f01 problems 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10 are from our chapter 2, problem 2 could also be from chapter 3 or chapter 5.

1. The on-line PDF version of the TI-89 manual can be downloaded from TI, this link. The first three chapters are a good introduction to the TI-89. Parts of the graphics chapters 11 (DE graphing) and 9 (Seq graphing) will be covered during the course of ODEs.
2. The local directory of TI-89 howtos for ODE's here is another one for Calculus3.

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.
