I recommend the Khan Academy series of videos on differential equations, starting with the most basic “What is a differential equation?” – this is a good one to watch if you are feeling lost at the end of the day today! The series can be found here:

WeBWorK is accessible from on and off campus, anywhere you have access to the internet. Your first two WeBWorK assignments, covering the materials from the first two days of class, are due next Tuesday, February 4th, at midnight.
To get started, you must complete the following three steps.
Step 1. Log in to WeBWorK here: http://mathww.citytech.cuny.edu/webwork2/MAT2680-Reitz. I have created Usernames and Passwords for each student registered for my class.
Username. Your username for WeBWorK consists of your first initial plus your last name, all lowercase (for example, John Smith would have username ‘jsmith’).
Password. Your temporary password is the same as your username (if your username is ‘jsmith’, your password is currently ‘jsmith’).
Step 2. Change your password and update your email address. To do this, select “Password/Email” from the main menu on the left. Use whatever email address you like (I suggest using one that you check often).
Step 3. Complete the first two assignments, titled 0-Getting Started and 1-Modelling-IVPs, by clicking on them on the main screen.
If you have any trouble – either with logging in, or with completing the assignment, post a comment here or send me an email and I will get back to you.
WeBWorK Tips:
This course is MAT 2680, Differential Equations, taking place in the Spring 2014 semester with Professor Reitz. We will be using this website in a variety of ways this semester – as a central location for information about the course (assignments, review sheets, policies, and so on), a place to ask and answer questions, to post examples of our work, and to talk about mathematics, physics, reality and so on.
Getting Started
Anyone on the internet can look around the site and see what we are doing, and even leave a comment on one of the pages. However, only registered users can create new posts and participate in the discussion boards.
How do I register?
