Math 285 F1, Spring 2008
Daily reading and (non-graded) homework guide
This is not a complete list. It will be updated during the semester. Please check it often. But it is always best to come to class regularly.
All of the reading and homework refer to the textbook Differential Equations and boundary value problems, 4th Ed., 2008, by Edwards and Penney.
Remember, these non graded homework do not count toward your grade. If you want them corrected, return them to me. Or you can ask about them in class and we can discuss them.
