MATH 146C: Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations - Spring 2020 - Section 011 (discussion)

Course information

Discussion meeting

T.A. office hours

To the students of my MATH 009B, Section 033 and MATH 046, Section 034 discussion sections, please do not show up at these office hours, which are reserved for my MATH 146C, Sections 011 and 012 discussion sections.

Official materials

Please note that the textbook authors have written their solutions in an intentionally brief manner and have not written solutions to all exercises. If you decide to consult their solutions to help you with your assignments, I expect you to provide in your solutions more details than what is already written in the manual. Blatant copying of their solutions may result in zero credit for that homework question or your entire assignment.

Update (May 19): For some of you, I had to assess a 5 point penalty to your Homework 10 scores for copying the textbook solutions verbatim. I do not tolerate plagiarism. Remember to write your homework solutions in your own words!

Whiteboard slides

Here are all the whiteboard slides from our Section 011 discussion meetings on Zoom that I have saved. All theorems, examples, and exercises referenced in these slides correspond to those of the Pinchover and Rubinstein textbook.

Please also see the whiteboard slides from our Section 012 discussion webpage, where it contains whiteboard slides that may differ from the ones in Section 011.

Lecture notes

These are lecture notes from your professor which you can also find on his iLearn. I am reposting them here for our convenience. All sections correspond to those of the Pinchover and Rubinstein textbook.

Homework solutions

In addition to the textbook solutions, I will post my own solutions to the assigned exercises after the submission deadline of each assignment. There will be more details in my own solutions than those of the solution manual. And my solutions will address some assigned textbook exercises that do not have solutions in their manual. If you notice any errors or other mistakes in my solutions, please e-mail me and I will correct them as soon as possible. Here are also my solutions to all the textbook exercises suggested by the professor.

Exams

Update (June 7): Your final exam on June 9 will be a take-home exam. Please complete the exam by yourself, and do not consult your classmates. The professor has announced that collaboration with classmates is prohibited and will result in an automatic course grade of D for all parties involved. If I detect any evidence of collaboration while I am grading the final exams, I will report it to the professor. Please do not cheat on the final exam. Also, if you decide to use my solutions to help you with an exam question, please write your exam solution in your own words, just in case another student may have also copied from my solutions. You do not want the professor to think you collaborated with another student because the two of you independently copied the wording of my solutions.
