Workshop on the Teaching of Differential Equations
MAA Minicourse
A Dynamical Systems Approach to the
Differential Equations Course
Paul Blanchard and Robert L. Devaney
January 6-9, 2002
Joint Mathematics Meetings
San Diego, CA
This minicourse will be useful to college instructors wishing to restructure
their ODE course; it is based upon the NSF-sponsored Boston University
Differential Equations Project. It includes more emphasis on quantitative
and geometric methods as well as the incorporation of technology and
numerical methods throughout. The course will include a number of
demonstrations of how technology is used in the course at Boston
University over a variety of computer platforms.
