The
text for the course is
William Boyce and Richard DiPrima, 10th edition ( or the University of Kentucky custom edition which may be less expensive).
3 Material: Chapters 1 through 7. Some material will be omitted.
"This is a course in ordinary differential equations. Emphasis is on first and second order equations and applications. The course includes series solutions
of second order equations and Laplace transform methods."
From the University of Kentucky Course Bulletin
4 Grading
The course grade will be computed (with 90-100% A, 80-89% B,
70-79% C, 60-
69% D, 0-59% E) on the basis of 500 points
earned as follows:
2 in-class exams 100 points each
weekly quizzes 100 points
Grading for the course will be influenced by class attendance. You will
be allowed 4 unexcused absences, then for every missed class after that
you will lose 10 points from the possible 500. I will let you know when
roll begins.
5 Makeups: Individuals who miss a quiz or an exam will be given a zero unless they have an official excuse. Makeup quizzes or exams will be permitted only for
excused absences makeups will be given during \dead week", that is, the
last week of classes.

Faculty Senate Rule 5.2.4.2 defines acceptable reasons for excused absences to be:
(a) serious illness, (b)
or death of family member, (c) University-related trips,d) major
religious holidays, and (e) other circumstances found to t \reasonable
cause for nonattendance" by the professor. As required by University rules,
you must present full documentation in order to request makeup work for a
valid absence. Senate rule 5.2.4.2 states that faculty have the right
to request appropriate verification when students claim an excused
absence because of illness or death in the family. Appropriate
notification of absences due to University-related trips or a major
religious holiday is required no later than 7 days prior to the absence.
6 Cheating Don't do it. It is an extremely serious offense. As a minimum response, I will give a zero to the offender.
8 Help Sessions:

7 Plagiarism :
Plagiarism includes copying from outside sources, including
internet sources. If charged, at minimum you will receive a zero.
Maximum penalties include being suspended, dismissed or expelled from
the University. For further information, consult the Faculty Senate
rules.
Kyle Helfrich and Jing Wei will conduct Help Sessions open to all students in MA 214. This is announced at http://www.ms.uky.edu/~larry/ma214/Help_Sessions.html . Sessions begin Tuesday August 30 and take place in the
Mathskeller.
