Differential Equations
Math 2320
This is a first course
in ordinary differential equations. Topics covered normally will include:
first order linear differential equations, Bernoulli’s equations,
differential operators, homogeneous linear differential equations,
undetermined coefficients, reduction of order, variation of parameters,
power series solutions and Laplace transforms used to solve initial value
problems and systems of differential equations. The course will also include
applications to real world problems.

Grading and Attendance
Policy: Grades will be based on
points accumulated from five 100 point tests, a percent correct from homework,
and a presentation of a real world problem using differential equations.
Homework will be assigned for most class meetings. The lowest homework score
will be dropped before the percent correct is calculated. Students will need the
following totals to receive the respective final grades: A 630 – 700, B 560
– 629, C 490 – 559, D 420 – 489.
