This schedule is just your instructor's best guess, as of the start of the semester, of what sections of the textbook (Nagel, Saff, & Snider, Fundamentals of Differential Equations, 9th edition) will be covered when. Students should read the relevant material in the appropriate section of the textbook no later than the day after we cover that material in class, and preferably earlier.
Omitted book-sections are sections that Dr. Groisser is not currently planning to cover.
Readings from Dr. Groisser's notes are not included in the outline below. Last updated Wed Dec 13 20:37 EST 2017
