There is a class discussion e-mail list: math-539-f17@uidaho.edu.
You can make an alias for the e-mail of your section. Each e-mail
lists contains e-mails of all students enrolled in the section and
my e-mail. You can use the e-mail list to ask me questions
that might be of interest to others in the class. You can also email
me at barannyk@uidaho.edu

Course Description
A practical and theoretical treatment of boundary-value problems for
ordinary differential equations: generalized functions, Green's
functions, spectral theory, variational principles, and allied
numerical procedures. Examples will be drawn from applications in
science and engineering.
