Lessons

  • 2.1 Linear First Order Equations
  • 2.2 Separable Equations

OpenLabDue Monday, September 11, 11:59pm

  • Typing math in LaTeX
  • If you submitted your introduction as a comment instead of a post, please copy-paste it into a post (this is so I can find it later and give you participation credit, instructions here)

WeBWorK: Due Monday, September 11, 11:59pm

  • Introduction-Basic Concepts
  • First Order Equations-Direction Fields
  • First Order Equations-Linear Nonhomogeneous
  • First Order Equations-Separable (now due September 18)

Coming up

  • Test #1: Chapter 2, Week 4
    • You will be permitted to bring a formula sheet to use during the test. Your formula sheet must fit on one side of one letter-sized paper and must be hand written by you. You will hand your formula sheet in with your test.
    • You can start making a rough copy of your formula sheet now. As you complete your WeBWorK sets, keep track of which formulas you used for which sections.

Week 1 checklist

Complete the following by Monday, September 4, 11:59pm
