Quiz 4 will be in the usual classroom on Friday, March 4. The main topics will be linear dependence and linear independence, obtaining the general solution of a nonhomogeneous linear DE using a particular solution and the associated homogeneous DE, and using the characteristic polynomial to write the general solution of a homogeneous linear DE of order n with constant coefficients. Applications to vibrations will not be covered on this quiz.

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 (and 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.
