Syllabus: First order differential equations. Matrices and systems of linear equations. Determinants. Vector spaces. Second order differential equations. Linear transformations. Systems of differential equations.
Prerequisites: MTH 143, MTH 162, or MTH 172.
Textbook: Stephen Goode and Scott Annin, Differential Equations and Linear Algebra (3rd Edition),
Pearson Prentice Hall, 2007.
Incomplete "I" grades are almost never given. The only justification is a documented serious medical problem or genuine personal/family emergency. Falling behind in this course or problems with workload on other courses are not acceptable reasons.
MIDTERM 1 is on 2/21, while MIDTERM 2 is on 4/3. Both exams are 8:00-9:15am tests and both are in Hoyt Hall.
Sample: Spring 2007 Midterm
The FINAL EXAM is on 5/5, 12:30-3:30pm in Hutchison Hall, Room 141 (Hubbell Auditorium).
Sample: Spring 2007 Final
There will be NO MAKE-UP EXAMS. If you miss an exam you will receive a score of 0.
NO CALCULATORS NOR FORMULA CARDS/SHEETS ARE ALLOWED DURING THE EXAMS.
To do well on exams you will need to know how to solve many different types
of problems. Webwork needs to be combined with the practice problems assigned each week
in order for you to be well prepared for the tests.
Webwork assignments are due Monday morning at 6:00am, one week after they were assigned. There will be 13 Webwork sets from which the best 10 will count towards your grade. Set 0 will not count. It is meant to familiarize you with Webwork. There will be no Webworks accepted past their deadline.
Registration and attendance mandatory. Attendance will be taken. The first recitations will be held in the week of January 21st. You cannot sign up for them until Friday, January 18th, in the afternoon. However, you can sign up all weekend long. These sign-up sheets will be posted on the 1st floor of the Hylan Building, around noon on Friday, on the walls near the elevators/closet doors. Apart from the recitations, I also encourage you to take full advantage of the office hours of your instructor and of the Math Study Hall (Hylan 1103, TuTh 10-6pm). It might be helpful also to form study groups.
