Elementary Differential Equations Fall 2017 …

1 MATH 2700 Elementary Differential EquationsFall 2017 contact INFORMATION:Instructor: Dr. Huseyin CoskunOffice: 627 Boyd GSRCP hone: (706) 542-7327 Course Hours: TR 13:00-13:50, and/or by appointmentCOURSE Times and Places: Section 34357 - Boyd Graduate Research Center (1023), Room: 304TR 14:00-15 :Blanchard, Devaney, and Hall, Differential Equations , Fourth Description:First and second order ordinary Differential Equations , includ-ing physical and biological applications, numerical solutions, and mathematical.

2 MATH 2210 or MATH 2260 or MATH 2310H or MATH 2410 or MATH Objectives:Students will learn various techniques to solve first and second order ordinary differentialequations. They will learn Euler s method, the method of substitution, the method ofundertermined coefficients, variation of parameters, and the Laplace transform. Studentsshould understand how to solve separable ODE s and constant coefficient ODE s. Studentsshould understand some of the physical and biological applications of ODE Outline:(a) Solution of initial value problems, separation of variables, mixing problems, populationmodels.

3 (b) Slope fields, RC circuits, Euler s method.(c) Existence/uniqueness theorems.(d) Homogeneous Equations and inhomogeneous Equations , undetermined coefficients, andvariation of parameters.(e) Laplace 2700 Syllabuspage2 Components:Students are expected to visit the course website (see contact info) regularly, maybe aftereach class, for possible updates, homework assignments, and announcements, etc. Thecourse website is the main source for course related information. Students need to haveaccounts on WebWork and eLC :There will be regular homework assignments on WebWork.

4 To access WebWork log in your UGAMyIDas your username [no caps] and all but the last digit of your 810 number, formatted as810-xx-xxxx, as your password. You can then change your password. Ignore the securitywarnings from your browser, and add an exception, if asked :eLearning Commons is the online learning management system at the University of at :Although it is not required in this course, Matlab is an important scientific software thatcan solve Differential Equations . You can use it to graph solution of Differential equationsor direction fields, etc.

5 , for example. can get a free copy through UGA website above. Similar free software are also available: Octave: Phyton: :There will be two types of weekly homework assignments; WebWork assignments and Text-book Exercises posted on the course website. You should only submit solutions online forWebWork assignments but should know how to solve all assigned problemsfor the homework will not normally be accepted. The lowest homework score will be may work on homework in groups unless otherwise instructed.

6 Your submissionsmust still be your own work as defined by the UGA regulations and honesty , you must understand the solution and express it in your own organization, words,and notation. Direct copying is :There will be weekly, short quizzes on Thursdays (except the midterm weeks)based on the assignment due that week. Quiz problems will be similar to the homeworkproblems. The lowest quiz scores will be 2700 Syllabuspage3 :There will be two tests and a comprehensive final. All test problems will be similarto the homework problems.

7 The idea is that; if students learn, not memorize, solving a largeset of selected problems, they are already mastered most of the course Exam Schedule:Test 1 100 pts TBA Regular classroom and class timeTest 2 100 pts TBA Regular classroom and class timeFinal200 pts TBA Regular classroom and class Work:Written assignments are due at the beginning of the lectures. Try tomake your writing readable. Note that all written work, including tests, will be assessednot just based on the final answers, but more importantly, on the supporting argumentsshown.

8 So, you need to show all your work. A correct answer with no supporting work mayreceive NO Policy:No make-up test will be given without an official, written, universityaccepted excuse. The instructor should be contacted at the earliest time possible and adocumented excuse should be presented to make up a Scale:Homework assignments and quizzes; each add up to 100 points. Eachmidterm is out of 100 points. The final exam is out of about 200 points. Thus, there are600 points to earn.

9 Your final grade will be curved, but there is no set number of anygrade. The letter grade will be given at the end of the semester by adjusting cutoff :The instructor s office hours are listed in the contact info section above. Themath department runs Study Halls ( tutoring)M-R from 3:30-5:30 in Boyd (rooms 221-222). These are staffed by grad students, and willstart the second week of classes. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of the freetutoring offered by the Division of Academic Enhancement.

10 Information is available here: and here: Participation:All students enrolled at the University shall follow the tenets ofcommon decency and acceptable behavior conducive to a positive learning behavior and scholastic dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. Use of anyelectronic devices, including cell phones, is prohibited during the class. If some piece oftechnology becomes a distraction, the offending party may be asked to leave the will be given interactively and active participation will positively impact students overall allocation:I suggest my students to spend at least three hours for each time for students with weaker mathematical background may take longer.
