Math 2280 - 1          Schedule and Homework Problems            Aug. 15, 2005
Treibergs


Turn in the starred problems only. Your solutions must be self-contained and
complete to receive full credit. For now, homework from each week (M,T,W,F) 
is due the following Wednesday. (This may change after discussing the schedule 
with the grader.) Homework which is more than one week late but not more than 
two weeks late receives half credit. Homework which is more than two weeks late
will receive zero credit.

The problems listed here correspond to the THIRD EDITION of the text,
                                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
by Edwards & Pinney, "Differential Equations and Boundary Value Problems,
Computing & Modelling, 3nd ed.

The corresponding problems for the second edition can be found on the homework
listing from my M2280 class of Fall 2003:

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

A. Identify the isoclines of the given differential equation. Draw a sketch 
   showing several of the isoclines, each marked with short line segments 
   having the appropriate slope.    
                                      dy / dx  =  x^2  -  y^2

B. The instructions should be "Find the general solution."

C. Separate variables in the system

         dx / dt = ax - pxy,  dy / dt = -by + qxy

   to derive the general solution

              a ln y + b ln x - qx - py  =  C

   If an implicit function plotter is available, choose fixed positive values 
   of  a,  b,  p,  and  q,   then plot contour curves through selected initial 
   points near the critical point  (b / p,  a / p ).  (Sketching by hand is OK!)
