TEXT BOOKS: Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems by W. E. Boyce and R. C. DiPrima, 7th edition

EXAMINATIONS AND GRADING: There will be two mid-term exams, weekly problem sets, and a final exam. The mid-terms exam are worth 100 points each, the homework will count for 50 points, and the final is worth 150 points, for a total of 400 points.

HOUR EXAMS: The first will be on Monday, October 21; the second will be on Wednesday, November 20. After I've graded each exam, you will have a few days to correct your mistakes for some extra credit. I'll give you the details when I return the graded exams.

FINAL EXAM: 8:30-10:20 a.m., Wednesday, December 18.

HOMEWORK: Homework will be assigned regularly, and it will be due at 4:30 in my office (PDL C-538) each Wednesday afternoon (except that there is no homework due on the first Wednesday of the quarter). Feel free to work with other people on your homework, but you must write your solutions yourself.

PLAN FOR THE COURSE: We will start by discussing first order differential equations, linear ones in particular. We will move on to second order differential equations, focusing on linear equations, both homogeneous and nonhomogeneous. We will study Laplace transforms at the end of the quarter.
