Mathematics 3113-005 - Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations - Spring 2011

Information about Quiz 3

Quiz 3 will be in the usual classroom on Friday, February 25. It will cover mainly section 3.1, with some from 3.2 concerning the general solution in the nonhomogeneous case. All DE's will be second-order, not nth-order. Topics covered will include general solutions of linear homogeneous and non-homogeneous DE's, finding a solution that satisfies a given initial condition, the Wronskian, and some of the theory.

Remember that no mechanical assistance or electronic device of any kind is to be used, other than a super-basic non-programmable non-graphing calculator (although that is not really necessary). As usual, you will receive a quiz and some blank paper. Please write your solutions on the blank paper, write your name on the quiz itself and on your solutions, and turn both in. Request additional blank paper if you need it during the quiz.
