office hours

I am available to help students from 10:00-11:00am Monday and Friday, by appointment, and any time I am in my office. First check for me in 223 LOV, then in 113 LOV.

eligibility

The student should have passed MAC 2312 Calculus II. The course is not open to students who have credit for MAP 3305.

text

Elementary Differential Equations, Seventh Edition, by Boyce and DiPrima

content

We will cover substantial portions of chapters 1 through 6 of the text. The course is divided into four units.

		Unit 1: First Order Equations
		Unit 2: Second Order Linear Equations
		Unit 3: Power Series Solutions
		Unit 4: Laplace Transforms

homework

Assignments, update periodically, are listed here.

objectives

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to standard tools for solving elementary ordinary differential equations. The emphasis will be on calculations with some deference given to theory.

attendance

I strongly advise you to attend class regularly. A student absent from class bears the full responsibility for all subject matter and procedural information discussed in class.

courtesy

Generally, I expect you to get to class on time and not to leave class until I have dismissed it. If you must leave class early, please let me know before class begins.

grading

Your grade in the course will be based on your performance on four unit tests, equally weighted. I shall use the standard scale 100-90=A, 89-80=B, 79-70=C, 69-60=D, 59-0=F, and may decide to give plus or minus adjustments.

honor code

A copy of the University Academic Honor Code can be found in the current Student Handbook. You are bound by this in all of your academic work. It is based on the premise that each student has the responsibility 1) to uphold the highest standards of academic integrity in the student's own work, 2) to refuse to tolerate violations of academic integrity in the University community, and 3) to foster a high sense of integrity and social responsibility on the part of the University community. You have successfully completed many mathematics courses and know that on a ``test'' you may not give or receive any help from a person or from written material except as specifically designated acceptable. Out of class you are encouraged to work together on assignments, but plagiarizing the work of others is academically dishonest.

ada statement

Students with disabilities needing academic accommodations should: 1) register with and provide documentation to the Student Disability Resource Center (SDRC); 2) bring a letter to the instructor from SDRC indicating you need academic accommodations. This should be done within the first week of class.
