Course Description:  Solution of ordinary differential equations of the first order and higher order with constant coefficients by exact methods, some equations with variable coefficients, systems of equations, Laplace transforms, and an introduction to numerical methods. Applications of all topics to problems arising in engineering and the physical sciences are studied.

Prerequisite: Credit or concurrent enrollment in MTH 2003.

MISSED TEST POLICY (IMPORTANT): 

You may make up a test if:
1) you know you will be absent on the day of a scheduled test and you arrange a time prior to the test to take it early.

2)Otherwise you may use your score on the final to replace the first missed exam. A second missed exam without a physician's  written excuse will result in zero for that exam.  Missed quizzes cannot be made up for any reason (this includes homework quizzes).

To find average : (students total / total points possible) x 100

 IVCC withdrawal policy: Last day to withdraw is  4/11/13

Effective Summer 2011, students will have the ability to initiate a withdrawal from classes. By completing the form in the Records Office or through the form located within WebAdvisor, the student is authorizing IVCC to remove him/her from the course. Entering the student ID number serves as the student’s electronic signature. IVCC has the right to rescind a withdrawal in cases of academic dishonesty or at the instructor’s discretion.

Students should be aware of the impact of a withdrawal on full-time status for insurance purposes and for financial aid. It is highly recommended that students meet with their instructor or with a counselor before withdrawing from a class to discuss if a withdrawal is the best course of action for that particular student.

 More detailed information is available at www.ivcc.edu/admissions and selecting the menu item for Withdrawals on the left side of the page.

Expected learning outcomes and related competencies:
Upon completion of this course the student should have demonstrated proficiency in the following:
1. knowledge of the fundamental concepts of differential equations.
2. knowledge of methods of solving some first-order differential equations.
3. solve modeling problems using first-order linear and nonlinear differential equations.
4. knowledge of the theory and solution of higher-order differential equations.
5. solve modeling problems using higher-order differential equations.
6. solve linear differential equations by the use of power series.
7. manipulate Laplace transforms and solve differential equations using Laplace transforms.
8. solve systems of linear first-order differential equations.
 

• All homework for completed sections should be done before the next class period.
•  Homework quizzes will be given and will consist of  homework problems from previous assignments. You may use your homework notebook but not your book during homework quizzes.
•  Some homework problems will be turned in for grading as well.  You will have at least 1 class notice prior to the problems being due. You  may get to choose among several problems to turn in. (Example: turn in 3 of the following 6) They will be problems we did not go over during class. Students should not turn in the same problems.
• You are expected to read the text to supplement information provided during my lectures. On average, you should spend at least 2 hours studying outside of class for each hour you are in class.

Missed quizzes: cannot be made up for any reason (this includes homework quizzes).

School Closings and Class Cancellations:  In the event of inclement weather, please tune to a local radio station for possible school closings.  If an exam is scheduled for a day that the school is closed or class is cancelled, it will be conducted during the next scheduled class period.  Check IVCC's Class Cancellations (http://www.ivcc.edu/cancellations/).

Cheating: A score of zero will be given on any assignment where cheating occurs. Other disciplinary actions are at the discretion of the instructor and may include, but are not limited to being withdrawn from the course and possibly from IVCC.

Attendance: You are expected to attend all classes regularly. If absence is unavoidable, it is your responsibility to determine what you missed

Policy: All IVCC student policies apply to this class.

Special Needs: If you are a student with a cognitive, physical or psychiatric disability you may be eligible for academic support services such as extended test time, texts on tape, note taking services etc..  If you are interested in receiving academic support services, please contact the Special Populations Office at 224-0284, office B-204.
