Statement of Purpose

We have collaborated on a lab manual for our Introductory Differential Equations Course. The manual has been written to be used with most of the standard software on the market, but we have provided examples using either Mathcad 6.0 and Maple V Release 4. At least two-thirds of the labs involve applications of ODE's to the physical and biological sciences with several labs requiring data acquisition.
