Course Description

Grading Scheme

Textbook:  "University Calculus (single variable with vectors)" by Hass, Weir, Thomas
Also we will be using: Online chapters for Differential equations

Topics Covered:  methods of integration, first and second order differential equations, infinite series (power series solutions of differential equations), Fourier series (applications to PDE). Time permitting we'll talk about vectors and complex numbers, too.

Grading Policy:
Homework: 15% (2 worst dropped)
Midterm 1: 20%
Midterm 2: 20%
Final: 45%

Notes

Exams

Homework collaboration: get any help you want, but write up the solutions on your own; consider a problem done only if you can solve a similar one on an exam.
Homework sample: to get an idea how a homework should be written check out the sample of the homework.
Inhomogeneous equations: handout
Midterm 1 (Monday, October 15 in class)
Midterm 2 (November 28 in class)
Final (December 21, 9am)
