MTH 205 Spring 2015 Syllabus

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to: 1. Classify a given differential equation as ordinary or partial, and determine its order and whether or not it is linear. 2. Solve first-order linear ordinary differential equations. 3. Apply reduction of order to find a second linearly independent solution for a homogenous differential equation, given one solution. 4. Compute real valued linearly dependent solutions to homogenous ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients. 5. Apply variation of parameters and method of undetermined coefficients to find a particular solution. 6. Formulate and solve appropriate applied problems involving exponential growth/decay and Newton’s law of cooling and series circuits as first order differential equations and solve applied problems from electrical and mechanical engineering as second order differential equations. 7. Compute power-series solutions to certain differential equations with variable coefficients. 8. Apply the Laplace transform to solve a given Initial-Value problem and solve systems of linear differential equations. Zill D.G., A First Course in Differential Equations with Modeling and Applications, 10th edition, 2012, Brooks/Cole – Thomson, U.S.A. This is a traditional lecture based course. Students are tested and given feedback throughout the semester via regular homework, quizzes, and exams.

Integrity Code
Statement

There will be in-class quizzes, in addition to two midterm tests, and a


comprehensive fnal exam.

Most quizzes will be pre-announced at least one lecture in advance.


No make-up quizzes will be given. However the lowest quiz will not
be counted toward your fnal grade.

With a valid written excuse and making immediate arrangements


with the instructor, a missed exam might be replaced with the grade
of the fnal exam and/or the average grade of all tests (including
fnal) and/or quizzes.

The fnal exam is common and comprehensive. The date and time of
the fnal exam will be scheduled by the registrars office.

Student must adhere to the Academic Integrity code stated in the 20142015 undergraduate catalog

Please turn off your cellphone before the


class!
