Lectures: |
Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 11:30 a.m.-12:20 p.m., Denny Hall 216 |
Prerequisites: |
Math 307,308 or the equivalent. |
Exams: |
1st Midterm: Friday, February 1, in
class. |
Grading: |
Your grade will be based equally on homework, two midterms, and a final. In case you must miss a midterm, I would very much appreciate ADVANCE NOTICE so that other arrangements can be made to take it. If you cannot complete a homework assignment in time for class, you can always turn it in by 3:00 on the day it is due to the grader's mailbox (#17). PLEASE turn in WHATEVER YOU CAN rather than nothing. In all tests you may use two letter-sized pages (one sheet front and back of notes in your own handwriting). |
Incompletes and Drops: |
The grade of Incomplete will be given ONLY if a student has been doing satisfactory work until the end of the quarter and then misses the final exam for a documented illness, religious reason, or family emergency. |
What to Expect: |
We will continue the study of differential equations from Math 307, focussing now on systems of first-order equations, using techniques of linear algebra, and learning some partial differential equations as well. |
