Misc Math / Re: lecture 30

Have the lecture 30 notes been altered? The link above is not working for some reason. The notes in the original link on the homepage still have the 'l' and m=1. Thanks!

Misc Math / lecture 30

Hi,

I tried solving the Euler ODE (3) in the lecture 30 notes, but by plugging in P:=ρm as usual I obtained λ=m(m+1) from the characteristic equation not λ=l(lm+1) as is given in the notes. I was wondering where this l comes from? Also, in equation (5) m=1 is chosen. Why?

Thank you!

Hi, I was just wondering what the symbol O stands for in the notes of lecture 20, for example in formula (10). Thanks!

I'm confused over why the sketches for the full Fourier series and the sine Fourier series are different. They have the same formula. I would have expected them both to look like the plot for the sine Fourier series. Thanks.

Term Test 2 / Scope of Term Test 2

Hello,

I just wanted to verify whether or not the material covered in home assignment 7 (Laplacian, etc.) will also be on the midterm. Is the test on all the material covered up and until Friday November 9th?

Thanks!

Hi,
I have a question regarding (3) in your above response Professor. Where is beta coming from? Is it just equal to alpha*X′(l)X(l) and this is why beta is constant? I am also unclear as to how you obtain λ.

Home Assignment 5 / Problem 6

Hi,
For problem 6 I was wondering whether we decompose the functions into the full Fourier series or just the Fourier sine series. Also, when the problem says decompose with respect to sin((n+1/2)x), does that mean replace the usual sine term in the series with this different sine term?

Hi, I understand how to derive the solutions for Problem 3, but now I have a question. For example, in 3.a, the solution is
u=x/2 for 0<x<2t, but u(0,x)=x/2 which does not equal 0, the given initial condition. Also, du/dt(0,x)=0 which does not equal 1, the given initial condition. I know however that these initial conditions are satisfied for u=t as x>2t. Could you please explain this?

Sorry, I am still having trouble understanding how #2. b is asking to solve for v using v. Could someone help please?
