It is assumed that students will review as necessary any topics through Calculus III required for a satisfactory understanding of differential equations. Class time will not be taken to discuss these topics, but help is available from the instructor at any time during office hours or by appointment. Students should review particularly integration by parts.
Differential equations is a required course for a major in mathematics.
It is not a topics course, and as such is a course that has a certain core of material that must be covered. Please note that students are expected to adjust themselves to the pace of the course necessary to cover the material. Students are expected to spend a minimum of six hours per week studying for every three hours spent in class. Students who spend the minimum time studying should not expect to get the maximum grade. Mathematics 3310 will depend upon the use of computer technology for much of the class discussion, and for some of the homework problems.
