Math24 (Differential Equations)

Course Code : MATH 24

Course Title : DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Pre-requisite : Math23 and Math23 Exit Exam

: Math23 for CpE, MfGE, MnSE
Co-requisite : None

Credit : 3 units

Course Description : This course covers useful methods of solving

first-order, first-degree differential equations
and higher-order, first-degree linear
differential equations that have relevant and
important applications to the sciences and
engineering. It also includes methods of
solving higher-order differential equations -
the method of undetermined coefficients and
variation of parameters. Other topics include
the construction of differential equations as
mathematical models and introductory
discussions on the Laplace Transforms.

 Other Course Policies

a) Attendance
According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be more
than 20% of the total number of meetings or 9 hrs for a three-unit-course (6 meetings).
Students incurring more than 9 hours of unexcused absences automatically gets a
failing grade regardless of class standing.

b) Submission of Assessment Tasks (Student Outputs) should be on time; late

submittal of coursework’s will not be accepted. If you have a justifying circumstance, it
must be discussed and a decision made before the due date or it is due when the
assignment is due. Copied works/tasks or any required material to be submitted in the
class are strictly prohibited and found guilty will be considered as cheating as well.

c) Major Examination (Long Quiz for both written and on-line and Final Exam) will
be administered as scheduled. No special exam will be given unless with a valid reason
subject for approval of the Chairman of the Mathematics Department. Furthermore,
students of this course are required to participate actively in the events/activities
organized for this course.
 Other Course Policies

d) Guidelines for Taking On-Line Exams (in-campus)

1. Students are required to bring their own computer equipments, eg, Laptop, NetBook;
and students must ensure that their gadgets are fully functioning and batteries are fully
charged before the exam. Tablets, such as iPads and Android Tablets, are not recommended
for use in online examinations.

2. Students are required to submit written solutions of their answers in the online
examination.
Students are highly recommended to bring their own source of internet connection, eg.,
Broadband Sticks, Portable/Pocket WiFi Connections, Mobile Hotspots. The use of the Mapua
Free WiFi Service might cause the student difficulties in answering his/her exams.

3. The use of softwares/applications other than the student's browser during the exam is
prohibited. The student may opt to use Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Rockmelt,
Internet Explorer as his/her browser, or any internet-browsing software. The use of
softwares/applications not categorized as browsers, such as MS Excel, MATLab, Algebrator,
Adobe Reader, PhotoViewer, and the like, is not allowed.

4. Only a single browser, in its most recent updated version, among the choices of
browsers, is a student allowed to use during the period of the exam. Entering into private
sessions/windows and/or having multiple active sessions/tabs is strictly prohibited.

5. Access to websites other than WileyPlus.com is not allowed. Access to online solvers
such as WolframAlpha, search engines, and third-party websites will be considered
cheating.
 Other Course Policies
d) Guidelines for Taking On-Line Exams (in-campus)

6. For Google Chrome users, if problems should arise, such as the failure of the loading of
exam questions and/or digital images in the WileyPlus examination, the student may right-
click-select the frame/pane of the exam question and choose the “reload frame” option.

7. The use of gadgets, other than the student's computer machine, such as cellphones,
tablets, and the like, during the exam is not allowed.

8. Talking during the exam is not allowed. Students are to focus solely on their monitor
screens and scratch papers. Clarifications should be addressed directly to the Professor in
charge.

9. Students are not allowed to print-screen or save the on-line exam questions, or any
portion/part of the on-line exam.

10. Strict checking of attendance will be done before and after the exam. Students who
send another person in lieu of their presence will be considered cheating.

11. The professor will not be held responsible if technical problems should arise, such as
loss of internet connection, machine malfunction, loss of battery charge.

12. Lastly, students are required to come on time in their respective classes for the exam
will open exactly during their respective class periods and close automatically at the end of
the class period.
