Approximate Course Content: We will mainly cover the following topics: Vector Calculus, Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations and Calculus of Variations. The course will also make the use of MAPLE.
Tests and Grades: There will be one midterm exam and a final exam. The final grade will be determined as follows:
(40% homework) + (30% midterm exam) +(30% final exam).
