Textbook: “Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems”, Boyce, W. E., DiPrima, R. C.,
10th ed.
Lectures: All lectures of MATH 219 for the Spring 2022 semester will be face-to-face lectures.
Exams and Grading: The grading will be based on two midterm exams and one final exam. All exams will be
in class exams.
Midterm 1: 30 % (date: 16.04.2022, Saturday)
Midterm 2: 30 % (date: 04.06.2022, Saturday)
Final: 40 % (date: to be announced)
Suggested Problems: A list of suggested problems will be announced on the course website. Students are
encouraged to attempt to solve all of these problems in a timely manner, and ask the instructors about the ones
that they cannot solve.
NA Policy: A student who misses all exams will receive a grade of NA for the course.
Make-up Policy: In order to be eligible to enter a make-up examination for a missed examination, a student
should have a documented or verifiable, and officially acceptable excuse. A student cannot get make-up
examinations for two missed exams. The make-up examination for all exams will be after the final exam, and
will include all topics.
