====== Math 527 ====== {{:gibson:teaching:math527syllabus.pdf|Syllabus}} ===== Exams ===== {{:gibson:teaching:exam1.png?300}} {{:gibson:teaching:exam2.png?300}} {{:gibson:teaching:exam3.png?300}} Histograms and percent-to-lettergrade conversions for Exams 1 through 3. The percent-to-lettergrade conversions are based on the guidelines * the dividing line between B and C is at the mean score, or just below it * A is more than one standard deviation above the mean (and in my judgment worthy of an A) * B is the mean to one standard deviation above the mean * C is the mean to one standard deviation below the mean * D is between one and two standards deviations below the mean * F is more than two standard deviations below the mean (and in my judgment below the minimum necessary for a passing grade) {{:gibson:teaching:meanexam.png?300}} A histogram of each student's average exam score. To determine your current course grade (without taking homework into account) take your three exam percentage grades, add them together and divide by three. That is your average exam score. The conversion table in the figure provides your corresponding current course letter grade. ===== Final exam and final course grade ===== {{:gibson:teaching:final.png?400}} {{:gibson:teaching:cumulative.png?400}} ===== Homeworks ===== Homework problems are chosen from the textbook, "A First Course in Differential Equations with Modeling Applications", 9th edition, by Dennis Zill. - HW 1: Chapter 1 Section 3, problems 1, 9, 14, 19, 20, and 22, due Wed Feb 2 at 1:10pm, beginning of lecture - HW 2: * Chapter 1 Review problems 23, 25 (pg 32) * Chapter 2 Section 2 problems 6, 8, 19, 30, 33 (pg 50-51) * Chapter 2 Section 3 problems 2, 8, 17, 19 (pg 60-61) - HW 3: * Chapter 2 Section 4 problems 2, 4, 14, 31 (pg 68) * Chapter 2 Section 5 problems 8, 16, 25 (pg 74) * due in recitation section on Thurs Feb 17
