Technology: A graphing calculator (e.g. TI83) is recommended but not required. Graphing calculators which perform symbolic manipulations (e.g. TI89, TI92) will not be allowed for tests and quizzes. You may use ordinary scientific calculators, but no graphing calculators are allowed for quizzes or exams. I will demonstrate dynamics of differential equations using MATLAB/XPPAUT programming languages. Attendance: is required; parts of this class may be in a cooperative learning format. You will be assigned group work in and out of class. Repeated absences (more than 4 unexcused) will result in lowering your grade in the course. Students absent for university sponsored events or must make arrangements for making up the work they will miss before they are absent. Homework: is required. Selected problems from your textbook will be assigned and graded. Late homework will not be accepted without a valid reason. Disability Resource Center: If you believe that you have a disability requiring an accommodation, please contact “Disability Resources Center” in Bldg. 10-Room 1201. Disclaimer: The instructor reserves the right to amend this syllabus at any time. Changes will be announced in class. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of any changes.
