Textbook HW: Math 256 Differential Equations
Clackamas Community College – Winter 2012

Text: Differential Equations, 4th edition, Blanchard, Devaney, Hall
Throughout the course, use Winplot instead of the software mentioned in the text.

Textbook homework will not be collected.  Make sure you know how to do all these problems, and ask questions in class about anything that does not make sense.  All of this material is fair game for the midterm and final exam.
