It’s not dogs, togs, or bogs, but logs, logs, logs! The Standard Deviants teach you how to solve exponential equations with logs, and how to convert logs to base 10 or base E, plus, as a special bonus, how to put exponential equations in terms of E. Don’t worry, the Standard Deviants make it E-Z.

The Standard Deviants start you off on the right foot by explaining all the differential equation basics, starting with “What is differential equations?” Then, find out the types of differential equations you’ll encounter in your journey.

How do you know you have the right answer when you finish a problem? Find out when the Standard Deviants show you how to verify the solution of a differential equation. Next, learn some handy tips about separable differential equations.

The Standard Deviants look at exact differential equations. Learn how creative visualization can help you solve these tricky problems. Then, find out how to rewrite these equations into a simpler form. The Standard Deviants also show you how to avoid some common pitfalls.

By now, you’ve learned several techniques to solve what seem like similar problems. Which technique do you use? There’s only one way to find out: the hit game show, “Name That Equation”! Then, the Standard Deviants kick things up a notch when they cover higher-order differential equations.

This companion CD-ROM is packed with robust supplementary materials: Lesson plans, viewing guides, teacher reference guides, students activities, worksheets and tests.

Learn how to find solutions of higher-order differential equations with constant coefficients. Try saying that three times fast. While it’s a mouthful to say, the Standard Deviants will make it easy to understand.

Go against the grain as the Standard Deviants tackle the anti-derivative! Suddenly everything is reversed! Pigs can fly, lunch is free, money grows on trees and beggars can indeed be choosers. How does one find the anti-derivative? With a little process called integration.

What’s the difference between a homogeneous and non-homogeneous equation? Find out the answer to this question and others, like “How do I solve these equations without going crazy?” If it seems like a lot to learn, don’t worry. The Standard Deviants will break everything down and cover all the points, step by step.

The Standard Deviants answer a question that has baffled humanity since…oh, about 1700: What is calculus? The two men who created calculus, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, aren’t around to explain it to you, so the Standard Deviants are going to do the job instead. Plus, review some basics of algebra, graphs, functions and limits.
