Text: Elementary Differential Equations: A Geometric Approach, by Andrew G. Bennett, Spring 2000.
Objectives: Understanding the basic concepts and methods, with emphasis on solving ordinary differential equations. To provide basic applications, from electrical engineering to population models.
Procedures: This course is organized differently than in the spring or fall. Classes meet every day of the summer session and there are no common lectures. Instead, the lecture and recitation are combined. The material to be covered in each lecture along with the corresponding exercise set is indicated on the attached assignment sheet. You should read the assigned material before each lecture, and after the lecture, reread the material and do as many of the assigned exercises as you can before the next class. Try to get the remaining exercises explained in your class. There are two sections of E.D.E. offered this summer:
| Bharath Narayanan | 02430 | 08:40 - 10:50 | Rec: CW 122, Lab: CW41 |
| Silvia Onofrei | 02440 | 11:00 - 01:10 | Rec: CW 122, Lab: CW41 |
Grading: There will be a total of 1000 points possible for this course. Your final grade for the course will be determined by your total accumulated points. The points are distributed as follows:
| Labs..............100 |
| Recitation.......100 |
| 6 Tests...........600 |
| Final Exam.....200 |
Tests: There will be one test every week (except for the first and last week of classes) with problems on the previous week's material. All tests (1 hr) will be taken during the regular class time and in the regular class room. There will be no make-up test except in an extreme emergency. In such cases notify your recitation instructor as far in advance of the exam as possible. The grade of incomplete is given upon request of the student for personal emergencies that are verifiable.
Homework, Lab: There is a suggested assignment for each lecture and a Lab report for each Thursday lab. On some of the labs, it is a good idea to draw pictures. If a lab question asks for an explanation, you should use complete sentences.
All homework problems listed on the syllabus are to be attempted and the problems on the tests and final will be very similar to the suggested excercises. There will be class time allotted for you to work on these problems and you can ask your teacher for help at this time.
Lab reports will be graded on a 10 point scale. The final combined score (homework ; lab) will be computed at the end of the semester, scaling the total to 100 points.
Studying: You must work on this course every day. The pace is hectic and allowing yourself to fall behind will end in disaster.
Help Sessions: The help sessions for this class will be held in the computer lab CW41 and last for sixty minutes. The sessions are held each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, and begin at the times listed below:
| M T W F 9:50, 11:00, 12:10 a.m.; 3:40 p.m. |
Miscellaneous: The Web Site address for MATH 240 is http://www.math.ksu.edu/math240, where you can access the labs and other resources (old exams and asignments, etc.). Other information (solutions to the quizzes, exams etc.) will be posted on the E.D.E. board.
Academic Dishonesty: Plagiarism and cheating are serious offenses and may be punished by failure on the exam, paper or project, failure in the course and/or expulsion from the University and a letter placed in your permanent file. For more information refer to the academic dishonesty policy in the University handbook.
Please note: If you have any condition, such as a physical or learning disability, which will make it difficult for you to carry out the work or which will require academic accommodations, please notify your instructor in the first two weeks of classes.
