Gavin's DiffEq Resource Page

 Resource List

These materials originated as part of an NSF/ILI grant (Incorporating Computer Algebra Systems and Writing-to-Learn in Linear Algebra and Differential Equations, #DUE-9551794) awarded to the Math/CS dept at Nebraska Wesleyan University in 1995, and have been added to and revised since then. We are aware of at least one project that has used some of the materials developed here, porting some of the labs to Maple.

Last revision/expansion: Winter 1999-2000.

For more information, contact Gavin LaRose (glarose@umich.edu).


Differential Equations Labs

The labs have now been assembled into a lab book containing all 14 labs and a Mathematica Review/Tutorial Appendix. The labs assume the student is running Mathematica 3.0 (or better), and in some cases use a local palette LocalMath and package diffeq.m. For details of the palette and package, see Appendix B in the lab book.
