Homework:
§
The
selected homework problems indicate the levels of the breadth and the depth of
coverage. To acquire proficiency on
solution methods, the students are strongly urged to solve much more problems
than indicated in the syllabus.
§
In
Sec. 8.4, problems 1, 5 and 9 refer to the same matrix. The same is true for
problems 2 and 6 and problems 4 and 8. The matrix is to be computed by the definition given in (3). The
material on Laplace Transform in page
362 is, of course, omitted.
Computer
Algebra Systems (CAS) [Mathematica, Matlab, Maple, …]:
§
CAS
assignments are at the discretion of the instructor.
§
The
entire assignments may be divided into two parts and collected twice
as “projects”.
§
The
selected assignments are simple.
In general, nothing is required beyond typing the commands given
in the textbook and then, for Mathematica,
pressing SHIFT---ENTER. The students are urged to try various types of
problems.
§
For
assignments no. 55 in Sec. 1.1 and no. 27(a) in Sec. 8.4, the following
commands can be used in Mathematica:
(1.1)
– 55: |
(8.4)
– 27(a): |
Clear[y] |
A={{4,2},{3,3}}; |
y[x_]:=x
Exp[5 x] Cos[2 x] |
c={c1,c2}; |
y[x] |
m=MatrixExp[A t]; |
Simplify
|
sol=Expand[m.c] Collect[sol,{c1,c2}]//MatrixForm |
Review
Material: In the
introduction of each section in the textbook, review material, if any,
is indicated. The student must do all reviews. He should make a plan, based on the Syllabus,
for all the reviews required for the course.
