This link is not available to students. Solutions will be made available to you by your instructor at his or her discretion.

 Online quizzes

Click the button for online practice quizzes (if you are using a pop-up blocker, you may need to turn it off). You need to log in with your vt.edu username and password. Some instructors will use these quizzes as a database for graded quizzes, which are given at the emporium. Please note that no floor help for Math 2214 is available at the emporium. The emporium is used only to administer the quizzes, not to teach the material. Click here to see a table listing how practice quizzes correspond to sections in the text.

 Final exam schedule:

The common time final will be given at the emporium over a period of approximately a week. Details will be announced later. Questions for the common time final will come from the database for the quizzes.

 Why should I study this stuff?

Click here for a list of courses which require either 2214 or more advanced differential equations courses such as 4544 and 4564 as a prerequisite.

 Tutoring

Tutoring is available at the Math Emporium. Check the Emporium web page for details. Note that the tutoring lab is not the same as floor help.

Old final exams.

This link provides old common time finals in PDF format.

  Matlab resources for Math 2214.

 Useful Mathematica files.

This link gives access to a few Mathematica notebooks which explain how to use Mathematica for solving differential equations. For example, direction fields, DSolve, numerical solutions etc.

 Other supplements.

Provides links to other course supplements, e.g. handouts covering material that is useful in the course but not covered in the text.
