Due: 24 November 2016
The problems are relevant to Test 2; they are further examples of problems solved by Separation of Variables and Fourier series, and considerations of the d'Alembert formulation. The due date is meant to emphasize that these types of questions may appear on Test 2 (the problem set may be turned in in class on Tuesday following Thanksgiving break.
