    • Review for the exam...it's on Friday!

23. Due Tuesday, August 8:
    • Section 4.1: #3, 5, 11, 14, 16, 20(a)-(c) (you may want to think about (d) as well, just for kicks), 21, 24, 25
    • Skim Section 7.1
    • Read Section 7.5

    • Read Sections 7.6, 7,7

25. Due Thursday, August 10:
    • Section 7.6: #1, 3, 5, 7 (skip the sketches)
    • Section 7.7: #1, 3, 11, 16
    • Read Sections 10.1

26. Due Friday, August 11:
    • Section 10.1: #1, 5, 8, 10, 12, 16, 18
    • Two hints on the problems: For the nonhomogeneous equations, 8 & 10 may require you to begin by guessing (educatedly!) a solution to the differential equation. This gives you one solution, but you want the general solution. To get this from your one solution, next solve the corresponding homogeneous differential equation and apply problem 2 from the practice problems from before the last exam. To solve the equation in 12, note that it is exact (see Section 3.2, #28).
    • Read Section 10.2

27. Due Monday, August 14:
    • Section 10.2: #4, 5, 10, 14, 16, 17, 18 (do the sketches this time!), 27
    • Read Section 10.3

    • Not actually homework, but in class I mentioned I'd post some links to interesting Fourier series java programs online, so...
      These are just the first two that came up for a google search for "fourier series applet", but they both do their thing well enough:
      • http://www.falstad.com/fourier/
        This one allows you to see how the approximation for certain functions gets better as you add in more terms of the Fourier series.
      • http://www.univie.ac.at/future.media/moe/galerie/fourier/fourier.html
        This one allows you to set the first 20 coefficients for a Fourier series using slider bars and see what you get.

28. Due Tuesday, August 15:
    • Section 10.3: #1, 3, 5, 18 (see note below)
    • Section 10.4: #3, 5, 7, 9, 16, 17, 18, 32, 34
    • Read Section 10.5
    • #18 is a bit harder than the usual problems, as it requires you to remember some facts about series, in particular the Comparison Test. Also, you should use the fact that f(x), being piecewise continuous on [-L,L], is bounded. See how far you can get with this one, and we'll discuss it on Tuesday.

29. Due Thursday, August 17:
    • Section 10.5: #1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 11
    • Review for the exam!!

On grading homework..

The grading scheme for homework is 2 points for each of two selected graded problems, and 2 points for general completion, for a total of 6 points.
Homework will be accepted up until my office hours (10:30-11:30am) on the day it's due. After that, you may still turn in late homework, but it will only be graded for completion (so you will receive a maximum of 2 points out of 6).

Onward ho! To the course outline, or..
