Syllabus

or see this version of the syllabus

“Differential Equations” is a spring semester course for second-year students studying at the Faculty of Computer Sciences. It is designed to suit the requirements of the Faculty of Computer Sciences curriculum as well as UoL where DE is a part of the mathematical curriculum. Besides the course on differential equations is included as a topic in “Mathematical methods for economists” external exam.

This course is an important part of the bachelor stage in the education of the future applied mathematicians and computer scientists. It has to give students skills for the implementation of mathematical knowledge and expertise. Its prerequisite is the knowledge of the single variable calculus.

In the spring semester, the course is split into two unequal parts: it is taught from January through the end of April and after the students finish with their UoL exams in May it will resume and will continue till mid-June.

The assessment of the students will be done by setting mock exam by the end of the 3rd module, then later by the University of London (UoL) examinations in May and final exam will be set in late June. But the final grade will depend solely on mock, final exams performance and home assignments grades.

As a general policy, personal computing devices such as laptops, calculators etc. are not supposed to be used in the course. They are absolutely prohibited in all exams. Students are expected to do all necessary arithmetic computations by hand.

Overall Results

Grading System

The home assignments constitute 30% of the final grade. The final exam is 40% of the final grade. The rest of the grade is formed by Midterm test which is due in the end of the 3rd module.

The final grade on the course will be determined according to the formula:

Grade = 0.4 * Final Exam + 0.3 * Midterm test + 0.3 * Home assignments

All grades are given initially out of 100. The final grades are also transferred to 10- and 5-points grades in accordance with the table (to be posted). 3. The scale of corresponding grades 3.1. Total grades for a given course are converted from the 100-point scale to the 5-point and 10-point scale. 3.2. The following basic scale has been established to convert grades from the 100-point scale to the 10-point scale 100-point scale 10-point scale

0-19,99 -> 1

20-29,99 -> 2

30-39,99 -> 3

40-46,99 -> 4

47-53,99 -> 5

54-61,99 -> 6

62-69,99 -> 7

70-77,99 -> 8

78-85,9 -> 9

86-100 -> 10

Retakes are organized in accordance with the HSE Interim and Ongoing Assessment Regulations
