MAT2705 22S homework and daily class log doing homework

Jump to current date! [where @ is located]

Daily lectures and your homework will appear here each day as it is assigned, including some PDF and/or Maple problem solution files or PDF notes, with occasional links to some MAPLE worksheets when helpful to illustrate some points where technology can be useful. [There are 56 class days in the semester, 4 each normal week, numbered consecutively below and  labeled by the (first initial of the) day of the week.]

It is your responsibility to check homework here since nmost but not all homework exercises are online. Homework hints are also found here. (Put a favorite in your browser to the class homepage.) You are responsible for any hyperlinked material here as well as requesting any handouts or returned tests or quizzes from classes you missed. Homework is understood to be done by the  next class meeting (unless that class is a test, in which case the homework is due the following class meeting), but the online deadline will be stated as midnight of the due day so that you have time in class or after to ask questions that you did not submit via the Ask Your Instructor online tool. You may correct submitted homework after the deadline without having to request an extension.
[[Homework problems surrounded by double square brackets [[...]] are not in the online homework system but are important to do.]]

Read:  HOMEWORK ADVICE;
quiz BlackBoard access/submission

  1. M:  (January 10)
    DURING CLASS:
    Lecture Notes 1.1a: Differential Equations: how to state them and "check" a solution;
    summary handout: odecheck.pdf

    New to Maple 3 minute video  [and we will check your BlackBoard access to the textbook portal]

    AFTER CLASS (THIS IS THE HOMEWORK):
    1) Log on to My Nova, choose the Class Schedule with Photos, view fellow students.
    2)
    Go to BlackBoard and look at the class portal and Grade book for our course: you will find all your Quiz, Test and Homework  grades here during the semester once there is something to post. Everything we do except for quizzes, tests and grades will take place through our course website although you will access our e-text portal inside BlackBoard to avoid an extra login.
    3) Download Maple 2021 for Windows or Mac if you haven't already done so and install it on your laptop when you get a chance (it takes about 15 minutes). If you have any trouble, email me with an explanation of the errors.
    You are expected to be able to use Maple on your laptop when needed. We will develop the experience as we go.
          No previous experience is assumed.
    4) Enter the e-text MyLab Math portal if you have not already done so, as explained in the welcome email message!

    5) Homework Problems: 1.1: 3, 5, 13, 33 online (only a few problems so you can check out our class website and read about the course rules, advice, bob FAQ, etc, respond with your email).

    It is important that you read the section in the book from which homework problems have been selected before attempting them.
    Optional: get acquainted with Maple clickable calculus DE entry and "odetest" for problems 3,5,13 [even 33!]

    [memorize!: "A is proportional to B" means "A = k B" where k is some constant, independent of A and B]


    Proportionality statements must be converted to equalities with a constant of proportionality introduced:
    y is proportional to xy x  means y = k x . [y is a multiple of x]
    y
    is inversely proportional to xy ∝ 1/x  means y = k/x .
    y
    is inversely proportional to the square of xy ∝ 1/x2  means y = k/x2

    6) By the end of the week, reply to my welcome e-mail from your OFFICIAL Villanova e-mail account (which identifies you with your full name), telling about your last math courses, your comfort level with graphing calculators and computers and math itself,  how much experience you have with Maple if any (and Mathcad if appropriate) so far, why you chose your major, etc, anything you want to let me know about yourself that will give me more of an idea about you as a person. [For example, I like to do humorous sketching. and cooking.] Tell me what your previous math course was named (if at VU: Mat1500 = Calc 1, Mat1505 = Calc 2, Mat2500 = Calc3).
    [In ALL email to me, try to include the string "mat2705" somewhere in the subject heading if you want me to read it quickly. I filter my email.]

    31, 35, 43;  perhaps in class together:
    [[29. Hint: recall perp lines have slopes which are negative reciprocals, the normal line is perpendicular to the tangent line and passes through the same point on the curve; make a diagram of the given point (0,1), a "generic" function graph curve whose normal at a point (x,y) on the curve passes through (0,1), and draw in the connecting normal line segment between these two points and the perpendicular tangent line, then compute the slope of the normal line from the two points, and then from the negative reciprocal of the derivative value, finally equate the two to get the DE: mw ]].

    respectively constant, decreasing, increasing volumes: 33, 36, 37;
    another constant volume lake application: 45  [solution worksheets].

    Note: we are skipping 1.6: exact DE etc. These are less important, and Maple can solve these when needed anyway. A similar integrating factor technique works for exact equations but where the independent and dependent variables are on an equal footing.


  11. F: Quiz 3 on linear 1st order DEs;
    1.R (review problems are not online!): in class we classify the odd problems 1-35 but don't solve them;

    11,13,15,
    [you may do these by hand on paper or use step-by-step row ops with the MAPLE Tutor; we ALWAYS want a complete reduction] ;
    you must learn a technology method since this is insane to do by hand after the first few simple examples;

  20. M: Lecture Notes 3.3: Balancing Chemical Reaction Application (short lecture); [online balancing]
    In class fun: Application: chemical reaction problem.
    (what can you find out on the web about interpreting this chemical reaction?
    chem site reaction balancer gives balanced reactions but no description, this one of our exercise turns out to be interesting).

    word of the day (semester really): can you say "homogeneous"?
    Get used to this word, it will be used the rest of the semester. It refers to any linear equation not containing any terms which do not have either the unknowns or any of their derivatives present, i.e., if in standard form with all the terms involving only the unknowns on the left hand side of the linear equation, the right hand side is ZERO. [nonhomogeneous means the RHS is nonzero]

     > A-1
     > |A|   [absolute value sign gives determinant, or just use context sensitive menu]
    Memorize: . Switch diagonal entries. Change sign off-diagonal entries. Divide by determinant.
    Always check inverse in Maple if you are not good at remembering this.

  23. F: Quiz 5;
    3.6: Lecture Notes 3.6: Matrix determinants;
    [forget minors, cofactors, forget Cramer's rule (except remember what it is when old-fashioned texts refer to it), use Maple to evaluate determinants; we only need row reduction evaluation to understand determinants];
    3.6: 7, 9, 10,  13, 15, 17, 25, 29.
    [[7*use this example to record your Gaussian elimination steps in reducing this to triangular form and check det value against your result]].

    Optional.

    1) Explanation of why determinants are important for measuring area and volume etc in higher dimensions. [Calc 3 stuff]

    WEEK 7[-1]:
  24. M: Lecture Notes 4.1: Linear independence;
    R^n spaces and linear independence of a set of vectors [please read this motivating example];

    matrix multiplication on the right by a column of coefficients as taking linear combinations of those columns,
    A x = x1 C1 + ... + xn Cn
    and solving homogeneous linear systems of equations  A x = 0  as looking for linear relationships among those columns (nonzero solns=linear rels) ;
    4.1: 5, 7; 13; 15, 17; 19, 23; 29, 31, 33
    [use technology in both 1) evaluating the determinant  and 2) context sensitive menu for the ReducedRowEchelonForm needed for these problems];

  25. T: Lecture Notes 4.2: Vector spaces and subspaces
    (homogenous linear systems define subspaces!)
    ;
    study the handout on solving linear systems revisited [remember the original one: solving linear systems example];
    [note only a set of vectors x resulting from the solution of a linear homogeneous condition A x = 0 can be a subspace of a vector space; interpretation: lines, planes, ..., hyperplanes through the origin];
    4.2: 1, 3, 7, 11; 15, 21.

    so far: linear independence (A x = 0), express a vector as a linear combination (A x = b)
     
    [or does b belong to a linear relationship with the columns of A?];

    9 [this is already reduced, find solution as in class example, pull apart to find coefficient vectors of parameters, repeat for next 4 problems reducing first],
    13; 15, 17, 25 [use technology for all HW row reductions and determinants (but 2x2 dets are easy by hand!)].


    Spring Break. enjoy and be safe.

    WEEK 8[-1]:
  28. M: plane grid workshop [Maple version of the example][printboth]
    0) bob explains the coordinate grid handout example made for the new basis {<2,1>,<1,3>} of the plane.
    Then in pairs or trios, you do the following each separately, but discussing and critiquing each other's work:
    1) Using this example, graphically find the new coordinates of the point (4,7) reading off the grid. Then find the old coordinates for the point whose new coordinates are  (2,2). Confirm your graphical read outs by the corresponding matrix multiplications.
    Then using the above handout as a guide, fill in each work sheet and confirm that your graphical read outs agree with the corresponding matrix calculations.
    2) Worksheet 1: new basis b1= <1,1>,  b2= <-2,1> . Using a straight edge (piece of paper?) draw these arrows at the origin, and then replicate then tip to tail along the new coordinate axes, marking off the new tickmarks and reproduce the grid corresponding to  -2..2 in the new coordinate tickmarks. Graphically represent the position vector of the point (x1, x2) =(-5,1) and find its new coordinates ( y1, y2 ) using the grid. Similarly draw in the position vector of the point whose new coordinates are (y1, y2) = (2,-1) and  read off the old coordinates (x1, x2).
    3) Worksheet 2: new basis b1= <3,-1>,  b2= <2,2> . Using a straight edge (piece of paper?) draw these arrows at the origin, and then replicate then tip to tail along the new coordinate axes, marking off the new tickmarks and reproduce the grid corresponding to  -2..2 in the new coordinate tickmarks. Graphically represent the position vector of the point (x1, x2) =(-2,6) and find its new coordinates ( y1, y2 ) using the grid. Similarly draw in the position vector of the point whose new coordinates are (y1, y2) = (2,-1) and  read off the old coordinates (x1, x2).
    In each case note how the numerators of the columns of the inverse basis changing matrix produce the denominator times the old basis vectors, confirming that these columns are the new coordinates of the standard basis vectors i and j .

    Hand these in tomorrow in class.

    Note sections 4.5, 4.6 are not in the syllabus, covering topics appropriate for an advanced class in linear algebra.

  29. T: 4.7  Lecture Notes 4.7: Vector spaces of functions;
    bridge to vector spaces whose elements are functions.

    for test 2 review (in Tuesday class in one week):
    handout summarizing linear vocabulary for sets of vectors;  
    handout summarizing linear system vocabulary for linear systems of equations

    Part 2 of course begins: transition back to DEs:
    read the 4.7 subsection (p.279) on function spaces and then examples 3, 6, 7, 8;
    if you are curious, example 5 illustrates the partial fraction decomposition needed in engineering integration;
    read the worksheet on the vector space of (at most) quadratic functions [quadratics.mw, pdf];
    4.7: 9. 11, 14 ( c1 f1(x)+  c2 f2(x) = 0, set x = 0 to get one condition on the two coefficients, set x = 1 to get a second, then solve 2x2 system),
    15 [Hint: solve c1(1 + x) + c2(1 - x) + c3(1 - x2) = 0, for unknowns c1,c2,c3; are there nonzero solutions? if not, these are linearly independent polynomials, in terms of which any quadratic expression in x can be written; note that any two (nonzero!) functions of x that are not proportional are automatically linearly independent],
    18 [same approach].

    Optional Reading: Why do we care about linear coordinate grids in the plane?

  30. W: Lecture Notes 5.1a: 2nd order linear DEs: an intro;
    read 5.1 up to the subsection on linear independence;

    Memorize: y ' = k y  < -- > y = C e k x
       y '' + ω2 y  = 0 < -- >  y = C1 cos(ω x) + C2 sin(ω x)
    [when x is a time variable, "omega" = ω is the angular frequency "radians per time unit" as opposed to just "frequency" f = ω/(2π ) or "revolutions or cycles per time unit" as in physics, but in our class we will just say "frequency" for ω, assumed to be expressed in radians per time unit or converted to revolutions per time unit as convenient;
    see also damped harmonic oscillators and RLC circuits, and Hertz
    (computers now have GHz clock speeds), not just a rental car company but "cycles per second"]

    [not many of the book RHS driving functions are physically interesting here;
    we will not cover "variation of parameters"; the book presentation of the method of undetermined coefficients is a recipe with little justification (educated guess), instead the undetermined coefficient method handout shows exactly how and why one gets the particular solutions up to these coefficients].


    WEEK 11[-1]:
  40. M: Lecture Notes 5.6a: Driven damped harmonic oscillators;
    summary handout on damped harmonic oscillator driven by sinusoidal driving function [1 sheet printable version];

  42. W: Quiz 8 answer key is online here;
    Lecture Notes 6.1a: Eigenvectors and eigenvalues;
    Transition back to linear algebra:
    In class watch bob use the Maple worksheet ExploreEigenDrag.mw  to graphically determine the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of three 2x2 matrices.  It turns out once you release the mouse cursor, you have to re-execute the procedure to continue, not very user friendly. Sorry.
    [in the lecture we recall the old handout coupled system of DEQs and its directionfield: direction fields for Maple help visualize eigendirections of a 2x2 matrix; see the 6 examples in this Maple worksheet DEPlot directionfield phaseplot template]
    6.1: 1, 2, 7 [1, 2, 7 mw examples of EigenTutor etc];

    (complex eigenvalues:) 29, 31 
    [do everything by hand for 2x2 matrices;
     for 3x3 or higher, go thru process: use Maple determinant: |A-λI| = 0 (right click on matrix, Standard Operations),  then solve to find characteristic equation and its solutions, the eigenvalues, back sub them into the matrix equations (A-λI) x = 0 and solve by rref, backsub, read off eigenvector basis of soln space, NO POLYNOMIAL DIVISION! compare to Maple's Eigenvector result, from the context sensitive menu].


    WEEK 12[-1]:
  44. M:  Lecture Notes 6.2: Diagonalization;
    summary: diagonalization; [diagonalize: 2x2 examples, 3x3 examples real; complex];
    6.2: 3, 10, 13, 19, 25  [use Maple for det and solve for eigenvalues, then by hand find eigenvectors, use Maple for matrix multiplication; check with Eigenvalues etc]

  45. T: Lecture Notes 6.2b: Geometry of diagonalization;
    class handout: grid page for three homework problems below.;
     [[HW:  read the worksheet explanation: 6.2.34 epc4-6-2-34.mw]];
    If you have time, find the eigenvalues/eigenvectors by hand, if not use Maple:
    0) Lecture example done as an example for those below.
    1) For the matrix:  A = <<-3|2>,<-3|4>> entered by rows, find the eigenvalues and order them by increasing value, then rescaling if necessary to obtain two independent integer component eigenvectors {b1, b2}, make the basis changing matrix B = <b1|b2>, use the coordinate transformations x = B y and y = B-1 x to find the new coordinates of the point x = <x1, x2> = <0,5> in the plane, then make a grid diagram with the new (labeled) coordinate axes associated with this eigenbasis (labeled also by the eigenvalue λ = <value> ) together with basis vectors and the projection parallelogram of this point; finally evaluate the matrix product AB = B-1A B to see that it is diagonal and has the corresponding eigenvalues in order along the diagonal.[multiply b1 and b2 by A to confirm the eigenvalues];
    2) For the matrix:  A = <<-5|4>,<4|-5>>, repeat with <x1, x2> = <4,2>.
    3) For the matrix:  A = <<-40|8>,<12|-60>>, repeat with <x1, x2> = <-4,5>.
    Return next class.

    No more sections of chapter 6 will be covered.
    7.1 is better done with "reduction of order" instead of "increasing the order" to decouple systems.
    7.2 covers the matrix form of first order linear DE systems which we will do in context with 7.3 over 4 days.

    2x2 example: .mw];

    summary handout on extending eigenvalue decoupling to nonhomogeneous and special second order constant coefficient DE systems
    8.2: 111 (this is the 0 eigenvalue case, so a constant driving function requires a constant times t for the trial function, OR just integrate the decoupled first order DE using the standard first order algorithm, see page 2 of today's lecture).
