Differential Equations, J. Polking, A. Boggess, and D. Arnold, 2nd edition. A student solution manual, with solutions to odd-numbered exercises, is available.
The grading for this class will be divided up as follows:
| Homework: | 10% |
|---|---|
| Midterm 1: | 25% |
| Midterm 2: | 25% |
| Final Exam: | 40% |
Homework will be collected every Friday in class, and will be graded and returned to you the following week. The assignments will be announced in class well in advance, and posted here. Your score on each homework assignment will be based on a few randomly chosen problems, as well as overall completion of the assignment. Late homework will not be accepted, but your lowest two homework scores will be dropped.
During the exams, you may not use notes, calculators, cell phones, or anything other than paper and pencil. There will be no make-ups for missed midterms. If you miss a midterm for a legitimate, documented reason, I will decide how to re-weight the remaining exam and homework grades. Make-ups for the final exam are permitted only under exceptional circumstances, as outlined in the UCLA student handbook. Please bring a photo ID to every exam. The exams are tentatively scheduled for:
| Midterm 1: | Wednesday, October 24th (review sheet, midterm) |
|---|---|
| Midterm 2: | Friday, November 16th (review sheet, midterm) |
| Final Exam: | Tuesday, December 11th, 3:00 - 6:00 p.m. (review sheet, exam) |
