Math 2403 Computer Resources  The School of Mathematics has prepared computer resources for your use with this course. They may be found here, and include a week-by-week syllabus, sample tests, and supplementary notes. We encourage you to use them regularly, and hope you find them helpful.

Maple Worksheets These Maple worksheets illustrate material covered in class.
        Phase Portraits is a worksheet illustrating the phase plane, direction fields, and trajectories.
        Biological Models Here we discuss a model of two competing species and a predator-prey model.
        Linearization and Stability Examples of three systems having the same linearization at (0,0) yet with different behavior there.

You may also find the material on Dr. Ho's web page helpful.


Procedures This is a link to the course procedures, and contains test dates, grading policies, and other useful information; and here is a link to an approximate day by day course outline.

Homework Assignments are found here.

Sample Tests These are the actual tests Professor Ho used in Math 2403 during Spring semester 2000. They will give you a good idea of the level of our tests, and we urge you to use them in your studies. Please remember, however, that your course has four tests--not six--so the material covered on your tests will not be exactly matched by that on these sample tests.
