Ordinary Differential Equations, MATH 304-01

Homework Assignment #1

Due Wednesday, September 8, START of Class


Homework should be turned in at the BEGINNING OF CLASS. You should write up solutions neatly to all problems, making sure to SHOW ALL YOUR WORK. A nonempty subset will be graded. You are strongly encouraged to work on these problems with other classmates, although the solutions you turn in should be YOUR OWN WORK.
Important: Please list the names of any students or faculty who you worked with on the assignment.
