Homework Assignments
Math 131       Spring 2016
==============================================
HOMEWORK SCHEDULE
Unless announced otherwise by email (by me or your TA), your Monday quiz questions will be
VERY similar to, or equal to, assigned homework problems for
the sections listed in the schedule of work above for the
previous week of class.
Homework will not be collected.
Homework assignments on the various sections will be posted over time.
Below, for example x.y:z indicates Problem z
in Section y of Chapter x of our text, Stewart and Day.
-
5.5: 3,4,9,10,11,17,21,35
-
5.8: 1,3,5,7,9,11,27,28,31,32
(Compare p=1 in #32 to problems 17,19;
convergence is delicate near integrand 1/x.)
-
6.4: 1,3,5,13,17
- 7.1: 1,3,4cd,5abc,7,8,9,13,15,15,17
- 7.2: 1,4,5,11,13,14
(In 4 and 5: you have y'=g(y): you can skip the part of the phase plot
which is graphing g -- just get the arrows and eq. inputs right.)
- 7.3: 1,3,5,12,18,26
- 7.4: 1,2,9,14,21,29,37,39b,43
- 7.5: 1,5,7,9,11,13,14,15,16,19,23
(In 7.5 and elsewhere: when you get to choose a formula involving
a constant, and you know the sign: write a letter to mean a
positive constant, and put a negative sign before that letter
when you want to represent a negative number. That makes it easier to
keep track of the meaning of the constants.)
- 7.6: 1,2,6,7,10,11,23ab,24,27ac
- Sec. 4.5 won't be covered, due to weather cancellation
4.5: 1-7,9,11,15,17-20, 23, 25a
(in 17-20: you won't be tested
on graphing those first ten terms; do what seems worthwhile for
your understanding)
- 8.1: 1,3,5,6,11,34,39ab
- 8.2: 1-5,7,11,15,19,23,27,30d,33
- 8.4: 3cdf,4eh,5cd,7,12
- 8.6: 1ae, 2abf, 3, 10a. 15, 23, 25, 29, 35
- (Exam 1)
- 8.5: 3ab,5a,9-11,13,15,19
- 8.6: 31, 33
- 8.7: 1ac, 2ab, 3a, 4a, 9ac, 10a, 11abc, 13ab, 27
- 8.8: 1,3,11,21,23; especially: 37-39
- 10.2: 3,5,7,11, 15, 17, 24
Also,
in problems 10.1: 15,17,19,21
compute the characteristic polynomial
and from it determine whether the equilibrium at the origin
is stable or unstable, and whether it is a saddle, a node or
a spiral. (You can use Theorem 15 or Theorem 16 on page 649
to determine the stability.) Then check your answers against the
graphs in the section with answers for odd numbered exercises.
- 9.1: 1,2,3,8,9,11,13, 21,23,25,28,29,33-36,41,43,45,49,53,61
- 9.2: 1,3,9,11,13,17,21,23,37,41,43,
- 9.3: 1,5,7,9,11,15,17,19,20,21; also,
"Matrices and Derivatives" handout: sample problem
- 9.4: 1,3,57, 9,11,13,17 (in 13 and 17, you can alternately
use implicit differentiation directly rather than substituting
into equations 4 and 5), 21, 23, 25
"The Chain Rule" handout: sample problem
- 9.5: 1,5,7, 9,11,19, 21, 31
- 9.6: 1-5, 7,9,11,23,25,29,37,40
- 12.1: 1-9,11,12,14,16-19,22, 32,33,36,41
- 12.2: 1-5,7,8,11,13,15,17,29,33,39-41,43,45,47,49,63,65
- 12.3: 1,5,7,9,21,23,29,30,31,33,35,40,43,49,57,59
- 12.4: 1-3,5,17,21,28,29,30,37,45,51,52-54,56
- 12.5: 1,3,6,9-11,14,20,21,23,25,29,31,33,43,49,57-59,62,64,71
- 13.1: 1,3,5,9,11
- 13.2: 1,3
