Note: MA 52700 is NOT a prerequisite for enrolling in MA 52800.

In the fall semester of 2024 there are three sections; all three sections will receive exactly the same course content, complete the same homework, and all have access to watch the lectures online live or as a recording:

11959: one on-campus section (WNG) with 75 seats that meets in the WANG 2599 studio room MWF 11:30-12:20 as in-person lecture
12919: one "on-campus distance learning" section (ONC) as overflow where it is assumed that will students rely on the online availability of the lecture recordings. The ONC section is only open to on-campus Purdue students who are taking the course as a distance course. After the first week of classes, there may be extra free seats available in WANG 2599 for ONC students, because some of the WNG students will find they prefer to watch the lecture online.
24892: one true distance learning section (EPE) administered by Purdue Engineering Online with students from all over the country and the world. Students must be registered as distance students with engineering.purdue.edu/online to enroll in this section (since it utilizes a different tuition structure).

All students are in the same merged Brightspace course, and lecture videos are available in the Kaltura Media Gallery within Brightspace.

Text: Advanced Engineering Mathematics, 10th edition, Erwin Kreyszig ISBN: 9780470458365 Note that we will use the 10th edition. If you have any other edition (including 'International 10th edition') you need to be sure that the homework problems you do are the ones from the US 10th edition. An online version of the textbook is available to Purdue students for FREE.

Content: 7.1-7.9, 8.1,8.3-8.5, 4.1-4.6, 6.1-6.7, 11.1-11.9, 12.1-12.10,12.12
Homework exercises from the textbook will be collected weekly.
Two Midterm Exams will be given as common evening exams for all on-campus students (WNG and ONC).
The Final Exam will be a comprehensive common exam for all on-campus students (WNG and ONC).
The off-campus distance learning students (EPE) will take all the exams remotely with a proctor.

Grades will be based on 2 midterms, a final, and regular homework. Each midterm exam will be worth 22%, the final exam 33%, and the homework 23%
