Office hours are a time for you to talk to me about the class or anything.
My office is AMB 110 (downstairs in the North-East corner, behind the Math office.)
My office hours are Monday 1:00-2:00, Tuesday and Thursday 11:30-12:30, and Friday 1:00-3:00.
My office phone, 523-6878, goes straight to voice mail. It is best to send me e-mail at
Jim.Swift@nau.edu.
You can always send me e-mail, drop in to my office,
or make an appointment if the office hours aren't convenient.
Please feel free to contact me any time via e-mail with any questions about the math, or with any feedback about the class.
Bad news! The MAP room does not offer help for MAT 239. You can make one-to-one tutoring appointments at the Academic Sucess Centers. Click on "Search for Support by Class" and type in "MAT 239".
Bad news! CANVAS does not list WeBWorK assignments on your calendar. You will get emails from "Webwork Administrator" with a title like "set_01_Calculus_Review is due soon" in the early morning of the day that a set is due.
Here are some graphical resources for differential equations:
Slope Field and Direction Field applet by Darryl Nester of Bluffton University.
Phase Plane
applet written by Ariel Barton of the University of Arkansas.
The current Problem of the Week. You get up to 2 class points per week extra credit for our course from points earned in the problem of the week. Problems are graded on a scale of 1 to 4. I'll give you half that as extra credit class points (0.5 to 2 points).
FAMUS (Friday Afternoon Undergraduate Math Seminar): Fridays at 3 pm in AMB 164. No extra credit, but a lot of fun!
Here is a flyer for MAT 239 or MAT 316 in Portugal this summer.
Here is a discord chat about Differential Equations hosted by Jenna Sterry, who is one of our PMAs. I am not sure if it is currently active.
