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

Information about Quiz 7

Quiz 7 will be in the usual classroom on Friday, April 15. It will cover sections 5.1 and 5.2. You will need to know the method of Gauss-Jordan elimination well. Be familiar with the IVP for first-order systems. Know how to find eigenvalues and their associated eigenvectors, and how to write down a solution to X'=PX using an eigenvalue and associated eigenvector.

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.
