Although the course is mainly theoretical, we will do some illustrative computing. This will be done with MATLAB. For information on MATLAB, see Chs. 1, 2, 4, and 8 in Differential Equations with MATLAB by Coombes, et al., which is on reserve in the Engineering and Physical Science Library (under Osborn).

Grading Policy: Grades will be based on homework (40%), midterm exam (20%), and final exam (40%).

Honor Pledge Students are asked to write and sign the Campus Honor Pledge, "I pledge on my honor that I have not given or received any unauthorized assistance on this assignment/examination", on each hour exam and the final exam.
