Problems
from B&DiP may
be solved either with paper and pencil or with MATHEMATICA, at
your discretion. Only the MATHEMATICA homework will be collected and graded!
The problems listed here are the
minimum amount you should do to acquire proficiency in the
material of this course. Plain problem numbers refer to B&DiP,
that is,
Elementary Differential Equations, Ninth Edition, by W.
Boyce and R. DiPrima. Bold italic
problems refer to DEwM-based problems, that is, those
found in the problem sets in Differential Equations
with MATHEMATICA, Third Edition, by B. Hunt, R. Lipsman, J. Osborn, D. Outing and J.
Rosenberg. The latter are to be turned in no later than one week following the week in which they are assigned. So, for example, Problem 1 in PSB appears in the assignment for Week 3; it is to be solved and turned in --- either during class (a printed version) in Week 4 or, and preferably, by email anytime in Week 4 before class meets. These problems must be solved using MATHEMATICA.
In general, B&DiP contains many more than
one problem of each type. You should do as many problems of each type
as it takes to convince yourself that you have mastered the skill.
Problems on exams will be written in a way that assumes you have
acquired all the basic skills.
