Math 420 - Ordinary Differential Equations

We will generally assign approximately five (relatively short) problems after each MW class. That will be a total of ten problems per week.

Even though they will not be collected, it is important be able to solve all of the homework problems. The Monday quiz will be based upon the homework.

Note: The Bonus problems are entirely optional (in case you are looking for an additional challenge), they will not appear on the quiz although problems like them may appear on the exams (only) as extra credit. Not solving these Bonus problems will not affect your grade in a negative way at all.
