Welcome to the ODEs PILOT site
This page contains PILOT review sets, useful resources, and information.
[The semester has ended, please check all published semesters at home]


Session Information:
  • Term: Summer 2024
  • Office Hour: Thursdays between June. 6th and July. 26th (inclusive).
  • Time: 8:00pm-10:00pm, Eastern Time.
  • Location: Zoom (Link).
  • Leader: James Guo (email).
PILOT Information:
  • PILOT is a loose acronym for peer-led-team learning. In the PILOT program, students are organized into study teams of six to ten members who meet weekly to work problems together. A trained student leader acts as captain and facilitates the meetings. PILOT aims to help students make a smooth transition to college life both academically and socially. More importantly, PILOT aims to actively teach and demonstrate how collaborative learning uses contributions from individuals to benefit a group.
  • For more information about PILOT at Hopkins, please visit its webpage.
  • Summer PILOT works as an extra office hour.
General Resources:
  • Spring 2024 PILOT Archive (Requires JHED Login):
    Archived documents for Spring 2024 PILOT term, feel free to check out the documents for practices purposes.
  • Previous ODEs (MATH302) Class Page from Prof. Brown:
    This page is an archive page that Professor Brown used for his ODE class in F18. Some notes and assignments might be helpful in providing materials for previewing or reviewing the materials.
  • Previous ODEs (MATH302) Class Page from Prof. Lindbald:
    This page is an archive page that Professor Lindbald used for his ODE class in F14. Some notes and assignments might be helpful in providing materials for previewing or reviewing the materials.
  • Previous Hons. ODEs (MATH306) Class Page from Prof. Bernstein:
    This page is an archive page that Professor Bernstein used for his Honors ODE class in F14. Some notes and assignments might be helpful in providing materials for previewing or reviewing the materials.
  • Pual's Online Notes for ODEs:
    A popular site contributed by a professor includes notes and exercises from various classes. Note that more than ODEs can be found on this site, and the syllabus could vary among these classes.
Expectations:
  • Summer PILOT works more like Office Hours, please join the zoom for extra help and review sessions.
Announcements: Important Documents:
  • Conceptual Problem Set:
    A specially designed extra problem set is updated for students who are interested in mathematical proof and fun questions underlying the base of ODEs. The extra problem set contains approximately 4 problems for each week. This set is completely voluntary, and its contents are mostly outside the scope of this class (conventionally).
    Feel free to attempt questions from this document if you finish the problem set earlier, and I am happy to discuss it.
  • Theorem Booklet:
    This document includes various definitions, theorems, and formulas about ODE that I compiled during F22 and adjusted up until Summer 24. The document should include the most information needed for the scope of this class.
  • Laplace Table:
    This document includes a table of Laplace transformation that most instructors would provide during their assessments. This document can be a helpful tool before your instructor has provided you with their version.
  • Activity Slide:
    Here is a set of slides deck that we could be playing with when we need some engagements. Feel free to play with some of it in advance.
Weekly Documents:
Below shall contain the materials for each event. Unless otherwise noted, all events will be over zoom.
