Kent Nagle, Edward B. Saff, and Arthur B. Snider.We will cover most of chapters 1-4 and 7-8.Reading and homework will be assigned and discussed in class.You are expected to participate in classroom discussions.MAP 2302 is a 3 credit course which gives the basic elementary knowledge necessary forunderstanding, applying, and solving differential equations of the most usual types

(Chapters 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7 of the text).This course is designed to serve students in engineering, physics, mathematics and relatedareas. It is taught in lecture format in small sections, with grading, computer usage andlaboratory projects instructor dependent.The course starts with an introduction to the concept of differential equations. It coversfirst order methods, including separability, exactness, integrating factors, first order linearequations, Bernoulli's equations, and second order equations reducible to first order ones.It also includes applications, including mechanics.The course continues with higher order methods for constant coefficient linear equationsincluding particular solutions and general solutions by the method of undeterminedcoefficients. Applications include vibrating springs, resonance, and electrical circuits.The course covers Laplace transform methods, including properties of the Laplacetransform, solution of initial value problems, and applications.The course also covers series solutions of differential equations, including the study ofordinary and singular points, and the method of Frobenius.Students with disabilitiesStudents requesting classroom accommodation must first register with the Dean ofStudents Office. The Dean of Students Office will provide documentation to the studentwho must then provide this documentation to the Instructor when requestingaccommodation.Attendance policyStudents are expected to attend class regularly.Websitehttp://www.math.ufl.edu/~turull/MAP2302/MAP2302.htmlTests (Written medical documentation is required for makeup tests.)Test 1: Friday, September 21Test 2: Friday, October 12Test 3: Monday, November 5Test 4: Monday, December 3Final: Wednesday, December 12, 3:00 p.m. -- 5:00 p.m.QuizzesThere will be frequent unannounced quizzes.
