Test corrections for Exam 1: This is optional. Go back through Exam 1 and write up solutions to all the questions, using whatever resources you want but not copying other people's work. You are welcome to come talk with me in office hours about the problems. Hand in your revised exam, and I will correct it; if there are still mistakes, rewrite the problems and resubmit, repeating this until everything is correct. If you do this, I will take your scores from Exam 2 and the Final Exam and use the better score to replace your Exam 1 score. If you choose to do these Test Corrections, I need you to submit them to me by February 12.
Due Wednesday, January 20: All problems on this worksheet. This homework is based on Section 8.1 of the book, which you should read. Solutions.
Due Wednesday, January 27: All problems on this worksheet. This homework is based on Section 8.2 and 8.3 of the book (up to page 578 only), which you should read. Solutions.
Due Wednesday, February 3: All problems on this worksheet. This assignment requires use of the Mathematica software, so if you have not used this before I advise not putting it off until the last minute.
Due Wednesday, February 10: All problems on this worksheet. This homework is based on Sections 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5, which you should read. There are also a few problems requiring Mathematica.
Due Wednesday, February 17: All problems on this worksheet. This homework includes some review problems from 8.3--8.5, but is mainly focused on 8.6 There are also a few problems requiring Mathematica. Solutions.
REMINDER: NO CLASS ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19!!! Everything goes back to normal starting next Monday.
Due Wednesday, February 24: All problems on this worksheet.
Due Wednesday, March 2: All problems on this worksheet. Problems 1--5 deal with Taylor's Inequality, from Section 8.7. Here are Solutions.
Due Wednesday, March 9 (last HW!): All problems on this
worksheet. The Section 8.8 problems are more practice with
Taylor's Inequality, very similar to last week's homework problems.
For the differential equations problems, you can consult two
sources:
here and
here.
The first is a scanned chapter from a standard textbook on
differential equations, the second is a link to an online textbook.
You will not be able to understand everything in these sources, but
concentrate on the examples: in the first link (Boyce & DiPrima
textbook), concentrate only on Examples 1, 2, and 3.
Here are
Solutions to the differential equation problems.
Tips for watching the video:
This is not taken through a video camera, so it is not quite what you usually expect a video to look like. You will see a white screen and hear my voice, and you should see some writing appear on the screen. It will be like watching me write on a whiteboard as I give the lecture. On some browsers it might take a few moments for the video to start. Be patient! Also, on many browsers pressing the space bar pauses the video, so be careful and don't press this accidentally.
Most people can watch these lectures just by clicking on the links---your web browser will automatically stream the video. However, all software is different, different people have different versions of video players, and sometimes things don't work perfectly: a common problem, for instance, is for the web browser to cut off some portion of the screen while playing. Another common problem is for the web browser not to give you any controls for pausing or rewinding the lecture. If you have trouble, what I recommend is that you first download the video files to your computer: on a Mac you can do this by using "Control-click" or "Option-click". Once the files are on your computer, leave your web browser and launch your video player (usually this is Quicktime, but other video players exist; a particularly reliable one is VLC, available for free download here.) Usually when the video player is running outside the browser window, everything works just fine.
Another good option is to just find a Mac in a UO computer lab and watch the videos there.
