Here is the final exam from my 307 section last year, for you to review. (Note: the figures are not included because I drew them in by hand. In problem 7a, the function $f$ is a combination of Heaviside functions, so just pick your favorite one and find its Laplace transform.) The solutions to the second midterm are also available now.
Here is a list of four more finals that I did not write but which you may find helpful for study. See also the department's collection of old finals (note that the syllabus has changed considerably since these exams were written, so not all of this will be of use to you).
This is the main page for Math 307I, Introduction to Differential Equations. Here you may find the syllabus, homework assignments, exam dates, grading policies, and any other information pertaining to the course, as well as important announcements (such as room changes!).
Lectures are Monday and Wednesday from 3:30 PM to 4:50 PM, in Room 115 of Condon Hall.
My office hours: Friday 12:30-1:20 and Monday 10:30-11:20.
My office is in the second basement of Padelford Hall, number C-8-K. You can also email me at rosoff@math.washington.edu.
Here you may find current homework assignments with due dates.
The text for the course is Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems, by Boyce and diPrima (8th edition). We will be covering chapters 2, 3, and 6 from this text. The material in these chapters pertains to first-order differential equations, linear second-order differential equations, and the Laplace transform, respectively.
Here is a page which has some instructions for using the software package Maple to plot direction fields and solve differential equations.
Here are some web applications for differential equations, provided by John Sylvester. These will draw direction fields and plot solutions of DEs for you. Note: some people have had problems getting these to work recently, but there are many excellent applets available all over the web, such as this one. If you can't find one that works, try Google.
Grades will be based on homework, the two midterm exams, and the final (dates of exams below). They will be given the following weights: homework 20%, each midterm 20%, final 40%. The schedule of exams is: first midterm October 19, second midterm November 16, final exam December 15. This is subject to change.
Here is the syllabus I handed out on the first day of class. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader or equivalent software to view it. You also may view the Math Department's 307 syllabus.
The solutions to Midterm 1 are available at the secure website.
I am working on a document which should give you enough help to get started using the software package Maple to plot solutions to differential equations. Be warned that it is a work in progress.
More to come.
