MAY 5, 2021 UPDATE
Unit 8
Fixed typo in student generated exemplar of homework write-up.
Unit 9
Added the following text to question 2a in the unit, “After computing a couple of steps by hand, use excel to create a much better approximation using a much smaller step size.” It was noted in the teacher materials that, this part of the question can be moved to homework depending on the timing of the lesson.
APRIL 2, 2021 UPDATE
Unit 1
Rephrased homework question 4c.
Unit 5
Clarified initial condition in question 5b.
Fixed typo on page 5.5.
Rephrased homework question 1.
Unit 6
Phase lines (pages 6.2 and 6.3) have been updated so the circles are dashed circles. This gives instructors the opportunity to discuss the differences between open and closed circles in terms of stability.
AUGUST 31, 2020 UPDATE
Unit 3
Fixed a broken web link.
AUGUST 13, 2020 UPDATE
Updates to Homework
Posted student generated exemplars of homework write-ups for Units 10-12. We are in the process of having these done for all units and are uploading as we get them. We are replacing “solutions” with these “exemplars.”
Unit 10
Clarified the wording in homework question 8a.
Unit 11
Clarified the wording in homework question 6.
Please note, we still are planning a large overhaul of this unit but that has not happened yet.

Glossary
The glossary was split into two, one at the end of first order and one at the end of systems. (Part A and Part B)
Every unit how ends with a homework problem encouraging students to go to the glossary and read definitions that are relevant to that unit.
