Friday, Feb. 15: 3.3: 25-32 (method of undetermined coefficients -- I'll be happy to discuss the odd ones in class). Please notice that there is a second 3.3 assignment listed under Feb. 19 (method of variation of parameters).

Monday, Feb. 18:

President's Day holiday - no classes!

Tuesday, Feb. 19: 3.2 application problems and Euler equation examples due.

Makeup for exam, replacing problems 2,3,8. The makeup will be one half hour at the beginning of the period; please show up on time. No calculators or integral tables will be available -- practice your integration! The makeup cannot lower your test grade, and will count as a homework assignment for anyone who takes it, regardless of whether their test grade is affected.

second 3.3 assignment: 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14 (method of variation of parameters).

Wednesday, Feb. 20:

Friday, Feb. 22: first 3.3 assignment due (the undetermined coefficients problems). I'm leaving the due date for the other set open for now.

This is the drop deadline. You will not usually be able to drop any class after this date.

Monday, Feb. 25: Section 3.4, problems 3,6,7,8,10,13,15,19,21,28 (in 28, it is OK to just solve the equation for the given values of the constants).

Tuesday, Mar. 5: 3.6: do problems 1-6. Do each method but with just one step size. I'll give some computer exercises later which are fancier.
