MATH 2403 Differential Equations

This site contains a week-by-week listing of topics in the Differential Equations syllabus, and computer materials to help you understand and and work with those topics. Not all teachers spend the same amount of time on each subject, or teach them in exactly the same order,so please pay more attention to the topics than to the weeks! Still, the week by week listing is here to encourage you to consult this site on a regular basis even if your professor is not referring directly to it. This site is designed to be a useful source of supplementary material that all students can use on their own as well as in directed study.
