Homework to accompany each day's lecture is assigned in
Lecture
and homework schedule. While the
regular daily homework is not collected or graded, it is essential that you do it regularly. If you happen to be a reincarnation of Karl Friedrich Gauss, you can probably skip the homework. If, on the other hand, you are not, do your homework. End of sermon. The assigned problems are exercises from Boyce and DiPrima. The answers to most such problems are given at the end of the book, so you can check your work for correctness. For any of the homework problems, you are welcome to consult me. I will be happy to work with you on exercises that are causing you trouble. You should also be aware that a solution manual for the textbook is available. Another reason to do the homework is that many of the exam questions will be chosen to strongly resemble these problems. |

In addition to the daily homework problems, there will be six
problem sets which will be handed in and graded during the
course of the semester. The opening and due dates for each set are shown on the Lecture and homework schedule. To allow for unexpected absences, illness, etc. the lowest of the six grades will be dropped, and the problem set grade determined from the remaining five. The resulting score counts for 10% of the total grade. LINKS TO PROBLEM SETS: Problem Set #1 Problem Set #2 Problem Set #3 Problem Set #4 Problem Set #5 Problem Set #6 |
