Math 216—Winter 2013
Announcements [New 5/1]
We're done!
Please note: this site is for the
WINTER 2013 semester. If
you are taking Math 216 in the spring or summer, please contact your
instructor for information about the course.
Classes meet for lecture in Dennison 296 or USB 2260 on Monday, Wednesday
and Friday. On Tuesdays or Thursdays, you will meet either in a classroom
for recitation, or in a computer lab in the basement of East Hall.
The course information page gives
information about the course structure, grading and assignments.
See also the day-by-day syllabus.
Lab and recitation locations are provided on the
section information page.
(You can also get the locations from Wolverine Access—the lab room
is provided in a footnote.)
The day-by-day syllabus indicates
whether you should go to the recitation room or lab room in a given week.
General Course Information
For assignment and grading information, and further information about
recitations and labs, please see the
course information page.
| Description |
Math 216 is a 4 credit course on differential equations; the LSA course
guide description is available here
|
| Audience |
Math 216 is intended for engineers and other scientists who are applying
mathematics to their fields. Students with greater interest in theory or
who expect to take more advanced coures in mathematics should consider
math 316 instead.
|
| Prerequisites |
Math 116,
156 or
186.
|
| Textbook |
Differential Equations: Computing and
Modeling, 4th ed.
by C. Henry Edwards and
David E. Penney, 2008,
Pearson Education.
See also the
official website for the textbook, where you will find downloadable
computer demonstrations and projects for each chapter. (Note that this
site is for the boundary value problems version of the text; the
non-BVP version
is all that is used in this course.)

There are so many people to thank
for contributing to the development of Math 216 that we need
a separate page for it.
