Course: Mathematics 3351

Location/Time Tue, Thurs at 9:30 am  in MA 115

Descriptive: Title: Higher Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists II

Instructor: Jeffrey M. Lee  Ph.D.

Email: jeffrey.lee@ttu.edu

Office Hours: 11:00:00-12:00 PM weekdays in my office; MA 239. Office hours are subject to possible change once the semester starts so check with the instructor.

Prerequisites: MATH 2350,3350 or equivalent course.

Sample Exam 1

About the Course: The special sections of MATH 3350-3351 for EE/CMPE/EECS majors are intended to present the requisite mathematics for engineering courses in these disciplines in a timely manner.

Student Learning Outcomes: (3351) The students will extend their knowledge of differential equations and their solutions acquired in MATH 3350 by developing new methods to solve differential equations and by studying the concept of partial differential equations and their solutions and applications. In particular, the students learn:

·         about the fundamental properties of linear systems, and their solutions

·         how to solve partial differential equations by separation of variables or Fourier series

·         to apply these techniques to the three classical equations: the heat, wave, and Laplace’s equation

·         about Frobenius’ Theorem and its applications

·         many examples of Boundary Value Problems that appear in physical sciences and engineering

Course Outline (3351)

Assessment: I will assess student progress and understanding using quizzes, verbal feedback, in class discussions, quizzes and examinations etc. The grading itself will be based solely on examinations, homework, quizzes and perhaps on attendance.

Examinations, Quizzes and Homework: There will be three midterm examinations each worth 100 points and a final exam worth a maximum of 200 points. Quizzes and Homework will combine to provide a possible 50 points (this can be very significant in the end!).

Grading:  Grading is based on the percent of possible points accumulated.

Class Attendance and makeup: Class attendance required and will be randomly checked. No make-up exams or quizzes will be given unless the absence is due to a university sanctioned event, severe/life threatening illness or hospitalization, circumstances beyond the control of the student such as serious traffic accident. In each case proper documentation should be provided and advanced notice given to the instructor when such is possible.

Academic Integrity: Cheating on any exam will result in the student receiving 0% credit for the exam and the student will be reported to the department chairperson or college dean. Text messaging during an examination will automatically be considered cheating as will using a calculator in inappropriate ways.

Civility in the Classroom: Please turn your cell phones off or to silent BEFORE entering the classroom and keep them out of sight at all times. I expect your full attention as I will give you mine when you are speaking. Do not read the newspaper in class.

Students with Disabilities: Any student who, because of a disability, may require special arrangements in order to meet the course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible to make any necessary arrangements. Students should present appropriate verification from Student Disability Services during the instructor’s office hours. Please note instructors are not allowed to provide classroom accommodations to a student until appropriate verification from Student Disability Services has been provided.  For additional information, you may contact the Student Disability Services office at 335 West Hall or 806-742-2405.
