MTH 482/582: Mathematical Methods for Engineers & Scientists, Winter, 2013

LECTURE: MWF 900 - 950 Bat 250 CRN 31966, 31878
Instructor: R.E. Showalter Kidder 286 show@math.oregonstate.edu
Office Hours: Monday 1500 - 1545 Wednesday 1000 - 1045
Topics: Two-point Boundary value problems, Fourier series for Partial Differential Equations. PREREQS: MTH 256
Textbook: Boyce and DiPrima, Elementary Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems, 9th ed., Wiley.
Homework will be assigned to indicate the topics for study, but it will not be collected. Two fifty-minute Tests will be given in the Lecture period. Test problems come directly from the assigned Homework. Final Exam counts the equivalent of two Tests. The Grade for the course is determined by the best three of these four scores. Absence from a Test gives a score of 0 for that Test. The Final Exam will be comprehensive and will serve as a make up for one Test.

Test#1: Friday February 1
Test#2: Friday March 1
Final Exam: Thursday, March 21, 930 - 1130.

NOTES:
Discrete Models of Diffusion and Vibration.
Separation of Variables
Solution with initial value u(x,0) = sin(pi x) and boundary conditions u(0,t) = u(1,t) = 0: Solution 1.
Solution with initial value u(x,0) = 1 and boundary conditions u(0,t) = u(1,t) = 0: Solution 2.
