• Chapter 3: cc2plot.m -- This is a Matlab code that I have written to make it easier for you to visualize solutions to 2nd order linear ODEs with constant coefficients. You should have access to Matlab at many of the computer labs on campus. Simply download this file, run Matlab, and at the prompt type help cc2plot. Copy and paste one of the examples to see how it works. Change the input values to try your own examples, or plot those from the book when plots are not provided.

  New -- I've updated the cc2plot script above to allow solutions to non-homogeneous ODEs to be plotted. Try, for example, cc2plot(1,4,4,1,1,0,10,'t').

General Info

While it may not be stated explicitly each day, students are expected to read each section to be covered before class. Questions not addressed during class time should be asked in recitation. Any questions still unanswered may be asked in office hours. Students should also take full advantage of the tutoring services provided in MLC (Kidder 108).

Students are responsible for any material missed due to absence.
