Homework/Textbook
Homework problems will be assigned in class, they are not required to be turned in. However they are extremely important for exams.
The textbook we shall use is Fundamentals of Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems, 6th Edition, by R. Kent Nagle, Edward B. Saff and Arthur David Snider.
Final Grades There will be three mid-term exams ( 20% each). Exams will be based upon the suggested problems. 10% of the grade will come from the weekly quizzes. The final exam is comprehensive and is worth 30%.
