Some code for today’s lecture
u[t_, x_] := Sum[(8/((2 k + 1)^2 Pi^2)) Cos[(2 k + 1)*.5*Pi*x]* Cos[(2 k + 1)*.5*Pi*t], {k, 0, 5}] u0[t_, x_] := (8/((2*0 + 1)^2 Pi^2)) Cos[(2*0 + 1)*.5*Pi*x]* Cos[(2*0 + 1)*.5*Pi*t] u1[t_, x_] := (8/((2*1 + 1)^2 Pi^2)) Cos[(2*1 + 1)*.5*Pi*x]* Cos[(2*1 + 1)*.5*Pi*t] u2[t_, x_] := (8/((2*2 + 1)^2 Pi^2)) Cos[(2*2 + 1)*.5*Pi*x]* Cos[(2*2 + 1)*.5*Pi*t] u3[t_, x_] := (8/((2*3 + 1)^2 Pi^2)) Cos[(2*3 + 1)*.5*Pi*x]* Cos[(2*3 + 1)*.5*Pi*t] Manipulate[ Plot[{u[t, x], u0[t, x], u1[t, x]}, {x, -1, 1}, PlotRange -> 1], {t, 0, 12}] |
13 March | Corrections to Exam 1 are due before Spring Break: You are to re-do Problem 1(C), explaining our eigen-procedure for the wave equation. If you opted not to do Problem 2(B), then you should do that problem at some point as well; you don’t need to submit Problem 2. |
13 March | Exercise 3.2.4, along with the rest of section 3.2, should also be completed before Spring Break. |
13 March | Here are the exercises for Section 3.3 and Section 3.4. These are due the week after Spring Break. But you should start them now! |
