Course Information

Calculus for Honors Students


MAP 2302, Section 3149

Textbook: Nagel, Saff, Snider: Fundamentals of Differential Equations and


Boundary Value Problems. Sixth Edition.
Location and Time of Classes: 205 Little Hall, MWF 6th period.
Evaluation: There will be six in-class tests (50 minutes), and one final
exam. Each test will contribute 12 percent to the final grade, while the final
exam will contribute 28 percent. Partial credit is given when the student
attempted to solve the problem in a way that could lead to a correct solution.
Just because you wrote something correct, you won’t necessarily get partial
credit. A solution that is numerically correct, but does not provide adequate
explanation of the relevant facts will get low credit. A partial solution that
honestly admits that it is not complete is better received than one that
falsely claims that it is.
Grading: Eighty-five percent of the total score is required for an A, seventy-
five percent for a B, sixty-five for a C, and fifty-five for a D. Half grades are
given accordingly.
Tests: They will be on January 24, February 7, February 21, March 14,
March 28, and April 11. Unless announced otherwise, only a pen is allowed.
Final Exam: In the regular classroom, 3pm-5pm, on Thursday, May 1,
2014.
Instructor: Miklós Bóna, 440 Little Hall, [email protected]. Office hours
are held Wednesday 8th period, and Friday 7th period. This is subject
to change. My new website is at

Content: MAP 2302 is a 3 credit course which gives the basic elementary
knowledge necessary for understanding, applying, and solving differential
equations of the most usual types (Chapters 1, 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 of the text).
This course is designed to serve students in engineering, physics, mathemat-
ics and related areas. It is taught in lecture format in small sections, with
grading, computer usage and laboratory projects instructor dependent.
The course starts with an introduction to the concept of differential
equations. It covers first order methods, including separability, exactness,
integrating factors, first order linear equations, Bernoulli’s equations, and
second order equations reducible to first order ones.
The course continues with higher order methods for constant coefficient
linear equations including particular solutions and general solutions by the
method of undetermined coefficients. Applications include vibrating springs,
resonance, and electrical circuits.
The course covers Laplace transform methods, including properties of
the Laplace transform, solution of initial value problems, and applications.
The course also covers series solutions of differential equations, including
the study of ordinary and singular points, and the method of Frobenius.
Students with disabilities Students requesting classroom accommodation
must first register with the Dean of Students Office. The Dean of Students
Office will provide documentation to the student who must then provide this
documentation to the Instructor when requesting accommodation.
Attendance policy Students are expected to attend class regularly. The
UF policy on attendance is here:

Honor Code UF students are bound by The Honor Pledge which states,
”We, the members of the University of Florida community, pledge to hold
ourselves and our peers to the highest standards of honor and integrity by
abiding by the Honor Code.”
On all work submitted for credit by students at the University of Florida,
the following pledge is either required or implied: ”On my honor, I have
neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this assignment.”
The Honor Code (http://www.dso.ufl.edu/sccr/process/student-conduct-
honor-code/) specifies a number of behaviors that are in violation of this
code and the possible sanctions. Furthermore, you are obliged to report any
condition that facilitates academic misconduct to appropriate personnel. If
you have any questions or concerns, please consult with the instructor of
this class.

Student Evaluations Students are expected to provide feedback on the
quality of instruction in this course by completing online evaluations at
https://evaluations.ufl.edu. Evaluations are typically open during the last
two or three weeks of the semester, but students will be given specific times
when they are open. Summary results of these assessments are available to
students at https://evaluations.ufl.edu/results/.
