Web Page (homework assignments are listed): www.ma.utexas.edu/\~{\hskip.01in}friedman \vskip .8truecm {\bf Text and Syllabus:} {\sl Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary value Problems}, 8th ed. Boyce and DiPrima, Wiley. Syllabus; Most of Chapters I, II, III, V, X. (Exactly which sections will be covered, depends on how quickly we progress, etc.) \vskip .8truecm {\bf Exams:} We will have exams on 6/28 (class 12; Wed), 7/20 (class 21; Thurs), 8/10 (Class 30; Thurs); no "final exam" (subject to Dept. approval.) * Exam grades will be scaled (if the unscaled average is $\leq 75$) to some value in the $75$ to $80$ range. {\sl MAKEUPS WILL BE GIVEN VERY RELUCTANTLY} \vskip .8truecm {\bf Homework:} Homework will be assigned each Tuesday in class and will be due the next Monday. A serious effort should be made on these exercises. It will probably be difficult to completely learn the course material without working problems; also exam questions may bear some resemblance to homework exercises. Additionally, there will be a grade associated with the homework; this will be determined by grading some of the homework. (There is no homework grader available during the Summer, so it won't be possible to grade all the homework in detail.) \vskip .8truecm {\bf Quizes:} Three quizes will be given in the discussion classes on 6/19 (Mon), 7/14 (Fri), and 8/4 (Fri). These will {\it probably} be short (about 1/2 hour) and consist of one problem. All three quiz grades will be combined to form one grade counted equal to a single test grade. \vskip .8truecm {\bf Final Grades:} In computing a final grade, I will count the three tests, one total homework grade and one total quiz grade equally. (So there will be {\bf five} grades to average.) \end
