*Policy on Academic Honesty*: The University Policy on Academic Integrity (see CSU General Catalog) is enforced in this course. Misrepresenting someone else's work as your own (plagiarism) and possessing unauthorized reference information in any form that could be helpful while taking an exam are examples of cheating.
Instructor Solutions Manuals are not a permitted student resource! Submitting work from a Solutions Manual or an on-line homework web site as your own are examples of plagiarism. Students judged to have engaged in cheating may be assigned a reduced or failing grade for the assignment or the course and may be referred to the Office of Conflict Resolution & Student Conduct Services for additional disciplinary action.
Exam 1 Thursday, October 9, 5:15 to 7:00 pm Room## for
Section ExamsExam 2 Thursday, November 20, 5:15 to 7:00 pm Final Wednesday, December 17, 1:30 to 3:30 pm Sample Exam Problems from Previous Semesters, with Solutions
Allowed:
Exams 1 and 2: 2 handwritten pages of notes (= 1 sheet. No calculator, no books.)
Final: 4 handwritten pages of notes (= 2 sheets. No calculator, no books.)
Please make sure that you will be able to attend the exams at the given dates and times. Exceptions can only be accepted in case of time conflicts with other courses, or serious illness with a physician's certification.Computer Lab: The availability of computer packages such as Maple, Mathematica, Mathcad and Matlab provides an opportunity to easily conduct numerical experiments and to tackle realistic and more complicated problems. The lab classes will be used with two goals in mind: (a) demonstrate concepts seen in class, (b) allow you to become familiar with computer software to solve differential equations. In this course mainly Matlab will be used. In addition to the packages mentioned above, many illustrative examples can be found at Addison-Wesley's Interactive Differential Equations website. You are encouraged to explore these examples as you proceed in the course.
The computer lab is in Weber 205 on Tuesdays. The section instructors will inform you on which Tuesdays your class will be in WB205. You have access to this lab at other times as well, as long as it is not in use by another course. In the first lab session you will be given a username and a password for the computers in the lab. Do not share this information with others. More lab information: click here (pdf) and here.
Tutoring: Extra tutoring for M340 is available here (courtesy of the College of Arts and Sciences).
