Text: Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems by Boyce-DiPrima (Custom 9^th ed.).

We will cover most of chapter 2, 3 and 6, focusing on practical problem-solving rather than theory.

Homework: The homework will be assigned on Wednesdays, and collected at the beginning of class on the following Wednesday. If you cannot make it to a lecture, my mailbox is located in Padelford C-120 (the Math lounge); arrange to have your homework placed in my mailbox at least 30 minutes before lecture starts on the day homework is due.

Late homework and unstapled homework solutions will NOT be accepted. Lowest homework grade will be dropped.

Please be sure to make your homework neat and clear.  A poorly written assignment will get an equally poor grade.

Midterms, Final: the midterms and final will consist of problems very similar to those assigned as homework.

There are no make-up exams. If you have a compelling, unavoidable, and well-documented reason for missing a test, you should speak with me as soon as possible.

Grading: Your course grade will be determined by how you do relative to the class as a whole. Grade will be made up of the following:
Homework 15%
Quizzes 5%
Midterm 1 20%
Midterm 2 20%
Final 40%

General: Only scientific calculators are allowed quizzes, midterms and final, but you won’t also need them. You will be allowed one note sheet on the midterm and final, front and back, handwritten by yourself.
