Syllabus

Ways to get help:

Integration Pre-requisites:

The following free supplemental online book contains many nice examples and good explanations: Paul's Online Notes: Differential Equations

Note: While most lectures will be synchronous, some lectures will be asynchronous. Pre-recorded asynchronous videos are available on ICON (login not required). Videos recorded during class are only available via ICON, and due to Ferpa, you must be logged in and you must be a student registered in this section. These videos are denoted as ICON videos.
