Differential
equations, which relate the rates of change of a function with
respect to one or more of its variables to the values of the
function itself, are the language of modern science, and have
been since the work of Newton that ushered in the modern
scientific era. Math 23 is an introduction to ordinary
differential equations, along with a very brief glimpse of one
or two important partial differential equations.

2. Jiri Lebl, Notes on Diffy Qs, available free online at (http://www.jirka.org/diffyqs/diffyqs.pdf)
3. Various handouts (Class note from Prof. Sutton in 2012 Winter) posted on Blackboard under Course Materials and this website (Go to https://www.dartmouth.edu/~blackboard and use your Dartmouth email authentication).
Schedule : Tue, Th, and Sun 7:00-9:00PM, Kemeny 008, TA: Ewa Infeld.
Weekly
homework assignments will be posted on this website and
Blackboard. Homework will be collected on Fridays during the
class. One homework grade will be dropped, but late homework
will not be accepted. Each
Assignment will be divided into two parts and it is required
that you hand in a separate write-up for each part.
There
will be two midterm exams and a final exam. Homework will be
worth 20% of the final grade. Each of the midterm exams will be
worth 20%, while the final will be worth 35%. The remaining 5%
of the grade will be based upon class participation, quizzes,
etc.
You
are encouraged to work together on homework. However, the
final writeup should be your own. On exams, all work
should be entirely your own; no consultation of other
persons, printed works, or online sources is allowed
without the instructor's explicit permission.
Any
student with a diagnosed learning disability
requiring accommodations should see me as early in
the term as possible. All discussions will remain
confidential, although the Student Accessibility
Services office may be consulted.
Mathematics is a very difficult subject to absorb in real time, and even professional mathematicians often get lost in lectures. Thus, in order to optimize the utility of the lectures, it is very important to have read and thought about the reading assignment before the lecture, jotting down notes and questions as you go. This will prepare you for what is to come in the lecture, will make the lecture much easier to follow, and will perhaps raise questions in your mind that you can ask during the lecture if they are not already resolved. After the lecture, a careful rereading of the assignment will solidify the concepts.
