REQUIRED TEXTBOOK: Elementary Differential Equations, 4th edition, H.Edwards and D.Penney.

Meera Gupta have office hour on Thurs 2, 3093F.
MARKS: Marks are posted behind the glass of 3093F. All the latest marks are to be seen there.
MISSED QUIZ: There is no make-up quiz. One quiz (your lowest scoring one) will be dropped to compute your grade. If you miss more than one quiz due to illness, you will have to bring a dated doctor's certificate stating that you were too ill to take the quizzes. In that event we will re-rate your score based on the score you take. If, for example, you miss two quizzes (out of say ten), and have a valid medical reason, then one of the quizzes will count as a dropped quiz and your score will be computed based on the average on the eight quizzes you took.
MID-TERM TEST: On Feb 27, 2002 (in-class for 50 minutes).
MISSED TEST: There is no make-up test. Students who cannot be present for a test must contact their instructor in person on or before their first day backat school. They must also bring a dated doctor's certificate stating that they were too ill to attend the school on the day of the test and giving the expected duration of their illness. Besides illness only very serious reason, properly documented, can be considered as valid excuses for missing a test. In these cases the missed test mark will be calculated by taking 50% of the final exam mark. All other cases will recieve a mark of zero on the missed test. There will be no supplemental exam.
DROP DATE: March 9, 2003
RE-MARKING THE TEST:
CHANGES: Changes to and clarification of details in this course outline will be announced to the class on at least two occasions to take effect.
COURSE OBJECTIVE: This course presents the basic ODE methodology used in many fields of applications. The emphasis of this course is on concepts and techniques and will be useful to students who seek to gain an understanding of the use of ODE in their own field.
SYLLABUS: 1.1, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6; 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7; 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5. If time permits we will do selected sections from Chapters 3 and 4.
Reccommended problems for quiz #1, Thursday, Jan 16, 2003. The quiz will hold in the beginning of the lecture and will take 25 minutes:
Section 1.1. Problems 1-27, 32-43.
Section 1.4. Problems 1-42, 47.
Notice. The quiz would be based on the few things you have to know:
You should find that the recommended problems are quite similar and it is enough to solve, say, half or one third of them (on the given themes) to be well-prepared for the quiz. But remember that the more you solve the better you are prepared. Practice is extremely important for understanding of this subject, so I do recommend you to solve as much as you can.
