    Differential Equations and Linear Algebra, 2nd edition
    Author: Jerry Farlow, James E. Hall, Jean Marie McDill, Beverly H. West
    Prentice Hall (publisher)
    OBJECTIVE: We develop standard classical techniques of solving ordinary differential
    equations including first order equations, second and higher order linear equations, systems, and
    Laplace transforms. We also examine the qualitative nature of solutions and study numerical
    methods to obtain solutions. Applications include population models, motion and resonance,
    equilibrium solutions, and electric circuits. The linear algebra portion includes the study of
    systems which may have none, one, or infinitely many solutions; vectors, determinants, matrices,
    and eigenvalues as they relate to solving systems of linear equations and systems of differential
    equations
    MATERIALS: Besides the mentioned text, you will need to obtain a basic scientific calculator
    (TI-30XS recommended)
    Homework Each section covered will have a homework assignment. Homework will come in
    a variety of forms including exercises from the book, projects, and analysis. Submit your papers
    in a neat and orderly fashionthey will be evaluated. Sloppy papers will be returned
    unread with no credit. There are two aspects to a good paper: content and presentation.
    This course emphasizes both since they are equally important. I may return an assignment to be
    polished if I feel it needs help with presentation or accuracy. To do well in this course you
    must complete the homework. Learn the whys of your homework, not just the hows!!
    Specifics on how homework is to be presented:

    All homework is to be done in pencil.


    Late homework will be penalized 50%
    Sloppy work will not be accepted.
    Organized !!!

    Turn in your homework paper in the format indicated in the diagram below. Clearly separate
    problems and identify your answer, sometimes a box is appropriate. Present papers with
    pridecontent and presentation are equally important.

    Staple in upper
    left corner.

    Problem Set

    Computer Labs: There may be computer labs assigned as homework. All relevant software
    is accessible in the Math Dept. Lab and other labs around campus.
    Opportunities: We will have 4 mid-term opportunities and a comprehensive final to show off
    all that we have learned. Of the 4 mid-terms the lowest of them will only count for 3% of your
    grade, the other 3 will count for 42%. It is a SLCC department policy that a student attaining a
    score of less than 60% on the final shall receive a grade no higher than D for the course
    Calculator Policy: Graphing calculators and computer algebra systems are useful tools for
    demonstrating concepts and facilitating problem solving. They are not a substitute for learning
    the fundamental concepts of this course. Some homework assignments and projects may require
    the use of a graphing calculator, but it is department policy that no more than basic scientific
    calculators be allowed on quizzes, exams or finals.
    GRADING: Grades will be awarded as follows, please do not argue your grade at the end of the
    semester. Plan ahead to earn the grade you deserve
    A 100 - 93%
    A- 92 - 90%
    B+ 89 - 87%
    B 86 - 83%
    B- 82 - 80%
    C+ 79 - 77%

    C 76 - 73%
    C- 72 - 70%
    D+ 69 - 67%
    D 66 - 63%
    D- 62 - 60%
    E below 60%

    Accomodations: Students with medical, psychological, learning or other disabilities desiring


    accommodations or services under ADA, should contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC).
    The DRC determines eligibility for and authorizes the provision of these accommodations and
    services for the college. Please contact the DRC at the Student Center, Suite 244, Redwood
    Campus, 4600 So. Redwood Rd, 84123. Phone: (801) 957-4659, TTY: 957-4646, Fax: 9574947 or by drc@slcc.edu
