Most of these labs have both a directions sheet created on Microsoft Word and a Maple file. Below I have included web pages of both the directions and the Maple file, as well as, downloadable versions of the Word and Maple documents. Both were created on a Macintosh PowerBook G3 computer. I know the Word file can be downloaded and used on a PC, but I have no way to test if the Maple file can be downloaded and used on a PC because I have no way to test that. To download the Maple files you will need to change your browser so it will recognize "mp" as an extension.

These labs were developed by Murphy Waggoner <waggoner@simpson.edu> and the students of her Differential Equations classes in the spring of 1998 and 1999. The web pages were created by Murphy Waggoner and Nate Mille and were last updated on 9/24/99.
