Math 23 tutorial sessions
Tutorial sessions are every Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday from 7-9 pm in Kemeny 108.
Grading
The course grade will be based upon on weekly homework (20%), exam 1 (25%), exam 2 (25%), final (30%).
The Dartmouth Academic Honors policy will be strictly followed. In particular please be aware of rules regarding plagiarism and collusion.
Exams:
- Midterm 1: 25 %: January 30: time and place TBD
- Midterm 2: 25 %: February 27: time and place TBD
- Final (cumulative): 50 %: Date and time TBD.
Homework (20%)
Homework reinforces concepts and skills while challenging students to extend what they have learned to other types of problems. Because it is important for students to have this experience, instructors will not solve assigned homework problems during office hours before the due date. We will of course answer questions you may have in approaching problems that give you difficulty. It is therefore essential to begin homework sets early so that you may get help if difficulties do arise.
Homework will be posted, submitted and graded on Gradescope, accessed via the Canvas course portal. Each week the homework set will be posted at the beginning of the week. The deadline is always 11:59 pm on Tuesdays of the following week. No late homeworks will be accepted. Your lowest score will be dropped.
Honor Principle
We will strictly enforce Dartmouth's Academic Honor Principle.
On Exams: Giving and/or receiving assistance during an examination violates the Academic Honor Principle.
On Homework: Collaboration is both permitted and encouraged, but it is a violation of the honor code for someone to provide the answers for you.
Textbook
Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems (11th Edition) by Boyce & DiPrima, Wiley 2017. It is fine to use the 9th or 10th edition. The problems may differ at the end of each section, but the content is primarily the same. You may find online versions of some older editions.<\span>
ORC Course description

Disabilities
Students with learning, physical, or psychiatric disabilities enrolled in this course that may need disability-related classroom accommodations are encouraged to make an office appointment to see your instructor before the end of the second week of the term. All discussions will remain confidential, although the Student Accessibility Services office may be consulted to discuss appropriate implementation of any accommodation requested.
