MAT 303 

Calculus IV with Applications

Summer 2003 Session I
About this course: Differential equations play a fundamental role in expressing physical laws as well as in predicting events in biological, economic, and other phenomena. This course is an introduction to the subject. Applications to other disciplines will be discussed, and the computer will be used as an essential tool in dealing with the mathematics involved.

The prerequisites for this course consist essentially of a working knowledge of Calculus and is also desirable to have some familiarity with the basics of Linear Algebra (Matrix Calculations).

 Course Syllabus

  Reference:
  Homework: Every week, there will be a set of homework assigned for the material covered the same week. These will not be collected but I strongly recommended you to do all of those.

  Computing Projects: You are required to know how to use a symbolic manipulation program such as MAPLE for some of the applications in this course. There will be some computing projects assigned. Some of these, you should hand in by the due date.

  Quizzes: Approximately every week, we will have a short quiz, one or two questions, chosen from the homework assigned the week before. The grades for these will be 30% of the final grade. These will be on the following days: 06/09, 06/16, 06/30, 06/07.

  Midterm Exam: June 23 (in class)
 

  Final Exam:  On the last day of classes

  Final Grade: 30% Quizzes and Computing Projects+ 30 % Midterm + 40% Final
