Chapter 6 / Re: Question while calculating the solution to Laplace using separation of vars

Section 4.1ODE is not enough. You need to take into account also boundary conditions. See Section 4.1

Chapter 4 / Re: When is it a good idea to assume solutions are separable?

If domain is "simple" in the appropriate coordinate system it is a good idea to try to find such solutions. For linear equations we even can construct general solutions as linear combinations of such solutions. Details in the class later.

I will post solutions to show that all the integrals can be computed using elementary functions and $\operatorname{erf}(.)$

Part $u$ is also linear and homogeneous$. Thus the correct and precise answer is linear homogeneous.

Final Exam / Re: Alternative solution to the optimization in Problem 2 on the practice final

Yes, it can be solved using Lagrange multiplies. However note, if restrictions are $g_1\le 0$, $g_2\le 0$, $g_3\le 0$ you need to consider
No, you need not consider quadratic forms after you found all suspicious points. It would serve no purpose.
- $g_1=0$ (and $g_2\le 0, g_3\le 0)$); there will be only one Lagrange multiplier at $g_1$. Two other cases in the similar way
- $g_1=g_2=0$ (and $ g_3\le 0)$); there will be two Lagrange multipliers. Two other cases in the similar way

Quiz 5 / Re: Quiz 5
« on: March 27, 2022, 11:44:46 AM »My question for Quiz5 was to decompose a function into full Fourier Series [0, $\pi$]. I wonder is it equivalent as decompose into full Fourier Series on [$-\pi$, $\pi$]?No

I understand it is equivalent when the function is even, but I'm wondering what should I do when the function is odd.What is the problem? There are formulae for interval $[\alpha,\beta]$.

It is the derivative of Fourier transform; otherwise it would be $\widehat{f'}(k)$ and covered by another property

Yes, you need to perform calculations
