TEACHING INITIATIVES:
Redesign of Differential Equations Course
Beginning in the Fall of 1996, Dr. Knaust and I taught two pilot sections of a
redesigned Differential Equations Course in the new student computer lab of the
Mathematics department. This pilot became the "standard" course starting the
Summer of 1997. There are a number of issues that were addressed by our revision
of the differential equations course:
1. The use of technology as a tool for illustration, experimentation, and discovery
served as a vehicle for changing the nature of the course from one where
students passively received information to one where they actively participated
in their education.
2. The "non-linear revolution'' that is occurring throughout science, engineering,
and mathematics dictates that this course should present non-linear systems on
the same footing as linear systems.
3. Teaching students how to find explicit solutions to a number of carefully chosen
equations is far less important than teaching them how to recognize a problem
that involves differential equations. Our students should be able to go through a
mathematical modeling process, and interpret the mathematical results in terms
of the original problem.

Mathematics on the Internet

In a joint project with three colleagues, we created a WWW site S.O.S.
Mathematics (http://www.sosmath.com ) on the Internet, where students can find
material to review mathematical concepts taught both in high school and college.
The informal style in which we deliver mathematical help and the easy access are
the main reasons for our websites popularity among students, adult learners,
parents and educators. Currently, about 200,000 Internet users visit S.O.S.
Mathematics per month with over one million hits.
S.O.S. Mathematics is a website featuring review material in Algebra, Trigonometry,
and Calculus, as well as more advanced topics such as Matrix Algebra and
Differential Equations. Our material is not meant to be a cornucopia of complete
web-delivered Mathematics courses. Instead, we aim our site at students who want
to refresh their memory of mathematical topics they have learnt in the past, or who
want to supplement the material in a mathematics course they are currently taking.
Consequently, most of our webpages contain short explanations of a mathematical

concept followed by examples of typical problems with their solutions. At the end of
a webpage the students usually find exercises to check their understanding of the
material.

We are quite surprised at the diversity of our users. Besides our target population of
lower-division college students, our site has attracted adult learners who are
studying for professional examinations as well as hobby-mathematicians. Many
parents seek help on our web site to assist their children with their homework
chores.
In addition, the authors and other interested faculty in our department use the site
heavily, both for students review of prerequisite material and for in-class
presentations by faculty.
We have received numerous awards including designation as an approved site by the
AAAS Science Netlinks. Our algebra site is included in the BBC Education Web
Guide.
