PROPOSAL TO CREATE, REVISE OR DELETE A COURSE

Department Math	(Proposed Course Number) 3336

Proposed Course Title Differential Equations and Linear Algebra

Nature of Proposed Change		Common Curriculum Status
New Course	Description Change		Presently in Common Curriculum Yes No
Revised Course	Title Change		Now Proposed for Common Curriculum Yes No
Deleted Course Editorial Change Number Change (Old Number ) Adding Prerequisites	If yes, which Understanding or Skill Estimated number of seats added or deleted from the Understanding

Rationale (Explain why the change is being proposed, its relation, if any, to the major or minor program, and what curricular improvements will result.):

Calculus II (MATH 1312) and Calculus B (MATH 1308) cover the same core material needed for Differential Equations and Linear Algebra (MATH 3336). We are also adding a differential equations course (MATH 3366)which may not be taken for credit once a student has taken MATH 3336.

Curricular Impact Statement (What curricular trade-offs will result if this course is approved?):

n/a

Teaching Resources (Explain any impact on personnel, faculty contact hours, Common Curriculum and other course offerings, and involvement in First Year Seminar.):

n/a

Proposed Bulletin Description:

The theory and applications of first order equations, linear second order equations, linear systems of equations, Laplace transforms, the eigenvalue problem, matrix algebra, and vector spaces. MATH 3336 and MATH 3366 may not both be taken for credit. Prerequisite: MATH 1308 or 1312.

Present Bulletin Title and Description:

First order equations and applications, linear second order equations and applications, linear systems of differential equations and applications, Laplace transforms, systems of linear equations, matrix algebra, vector spaces, and the eigenvalue problem. Prerequisite: MATH 1312.

Instructor(s) Departmental Semester course will first be offered Fall 2008 Effective date of change Frequency of offering Every semester. Is a similar course offered in another department? Yes No If yes, attach explanation. If this course will demand additional library resources, equipment, renovation and/or remodeling, computer facilities and time, or have a significant impact on workload or budget, have you arranged for these resources? Yes No None required Are there needs for technological resources not currently available on campus? Yes No	IS THIS COURSE - cross-listed with another department? Yes No If so, which one? - a prerequisite for another course? Yes No If so, which one(s)? - part of an interdisciplinary program? Yes No If so, which one(s)? - a prerequisite or specific requirement for a major or minor in another department or program? Yes No If so, which one(s)? If any of the above responses is “Yes”, have you contacted the appropriate department(s)? Yes No Can a student enter this course with permission of the instructor without the prerequisite(s)? Yes No
