Office hours: See the Office hour schedule, and by appointment in my office, PDL C-338. I'm also usually available after class at the classroom, and often can make appointments in the late afternoon.
PDL ELEVATORS: The C-wing elevator in Padelford is closed for renovation, probably for the rest of the quarter. There are now elevators in both the A and B wings.

Basic course information and other useful links:

• For Advice about getting into a full math class, see Undergrad Math FAQS. Note info on getting up-to-the-minute enrollment info.
  Overloads, if any, will be given after the third class, and only to students who have attended classes and have a compelling reason for special consideration.
• Overview of Math 309.
• Textbook: Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems, by Boyce & DiPrima: Custom 9th ed. for Math 309, OR whole book. If you have the 8th edition, it will probably work, if you are aware that some of the problems may be different. There is a list of changes in the text, but ideally you should doublecheck with that you are doing the correct problems, by looking at the 9th edition at the library, or from one of your classmates.
• Homepage for Math 309 sections B & C.
• Homework, include scans of textbook pages with homework problems until there are more books at the bookstore.
  (Original homework page; mostly duplicated at link above.)
• Class Schedule and announcements.
• Class discussion board for discussing course material including homework, forming study groups, etc.
• Grading Scheme.
• Catalyst Gradebook for Section A. Check your scores regularly; if you see an error, please bring me the graded paper so I can correct the record.
• Other resources:
  Center for Learning and Undergraduate Enrichment (CLUE)
  Student Counseling Center, which offers individual and group counseling help with study skills, career decisions, and personal problems.
