The homework assignments on this page are organized by day they are assigned. On many days you will have both a reading assignment, and a problem set. Unless we indicate otherwise, all readings come from your textbook, Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems, 6th ed. by Boyce and DiPrima. Furthermore, the current homework assignment (the one due during the next class meeting) will be highlighted by an orange title bar.

For February 21st, 2000 Home Page


PROBLEMS:
Section 7.5: 2, 3, 4, 16
NOTE: We didn't talk a lot about plotting in class, but try doing it for #2. You don't need to draw plots or direction fields for the others, but you should still be able to describe the behavior of solutions as t goes to infinity. You may use a graphing calculator (or maple, if you're really amibitious: I can give you my source code).

NOTE: Again, plot trajectories and a direction field for #2 only.

NOTE: No graphs necessary for these.


For February 25th, 2000 Home Page


READING: Section 10.2


Special Instructions


For the following problems from Chapter 3, I would like you to convert the second order equations to systems of first order D.E.'s and solve using the techniques from Chapter 7.

PROBLEMS:
Section 3.1: 4, 8

Section 3.4: 10, 15

Section 10.1: 3




For February 28th, 2000 Home Page


Due Wednesday, March 1st.

READING: Section 10.3


PROBLEMS:
Section 10.2: 14, 15, 18

NOTE: Graph sketching is required.
In addition to these problems, I would like for you to verify that is orthogonal to for any choice of m and n, except when m = n (This is equation 6 in section 10.2). When m = n, you should compute the value of their inner product.

READING: Section 10.7


PROBLEMS:

Section 10.5: 2, 3, 12abc

Special Instructions

For problems 2 and 3 in Section 10.5, instead of using the boundary conditions stated in the book, I would like for you to use the boundary conditions u(0,t) = -20, u(40,t) = 20 (L = 40cm). You should explicitly exhibit both the steady-state solution and the transient solution.

Section 10.6: 1abc, 2abc (Note: You do not need to hand in Section 10.6 problems, but you should try them!)
