Reminder: The DEplot is in the Maple DEtools package.
to plot something such as
dy/dx = y - x you can use the command
DEplot( diff(y(x),x)=y(x)-x, y(x) , x=-5..5, y=-6..6)
You can also use Maple help to see more information about the command (e.g. ?DEplot).

Answers should be explained. The correct answer will be worth 1 point. The rest of the credit comes from correctly explaining how the answer is found.
The words "used Maple" are not an explanation and will result in a loss of
1 point.
Similar evasions will also result in a loss of credit.
Homework is due at the beginning of class on the day that it is due.
You should turn in your homework in a pile on the desk at the front of the classroom.
Homework may be turned in later but will be penalized based on just how late it is - typically
1 point off for turned in late during the class,
5% off for being turned in late the same day,
10% off per day. (weekends count for two days)
i.e. 10 days later, it's too late to get a makeup homework turned in.
When writing up homework, you should circle (or otherwise clearly indicate) your answers.
It's good to work together, but you should write/type your own homework.
Simply copying another person's work or Maple file is not acceptable.
You should come to class prepared. This means that I expect you to have done the homework, brought your book to class, and silenced your cell phone.
If you have a cell phone, please make sure that it does not ring audibly during class. Phone calls should, in general, not be answered during class.
No texting during class.
- If you don't understand something, ASK
- If I'm going too fast, STOP ME.
I enjoy mathematics. When I get on a roll, I tend to keep going.
- SHOW YOUR WORK. The correct answer will only be worth 1 point. I want to verify that you understand the process.
- If you are having problems understanding the material, see me or go to the learning center.
A summary of the grade weights
There will be three in-class exams worth 15% each
