Zen and the Art of Motorcycle MaintenanceRobert Pirsig • The state of “stuckness” is to be treasured. It is the moment that precedes enlightenment.
Differential equations REVIEW Algebraicequation: involves functions; solutions are numbers. Differential equation: involves derivatives; solutions are functions.
Classification of ODEs Linearity: Homogeneity: Order:
Superposition(linear, homogeneous equations) Can build a complex solution from the sum of two or more simpler solutions.
Properties of the exponential function Taylor series: Sum rule: Power rule: Derivative Indefinite integral
Wednesday Sept 15th: Univariate Calculus 3 Exponential, trigonometric, hyperbolic functions Differential eigenvalue problems F=ma for small oscillations
Complex numbers The complex plane
Oscillations • Simple pendulum • Waves in water • Seismic waves • Iceberg or buoy • LC circuits • Milankovich cycles • Gyrotactic swimming current Swimming direction gravity
Newton’s 2nd Law for Small Oscillations Expand force about equilibrium point: =0 Small if x is small
Differential eigenvalue problems Zero crossings
Differential eigenvalue problems Zero crossings
Multivariate Calculus 1:multivariate functions,partial derivatives
Partial derivatives Increment: x part y part
Partial derivatives Could also be changing in time:
Total derivatives x part y part t part
Partial differential equations Algebraicequation: involves functions; solutions are numbers. Ordinary differential equation (ODE): involves total derivatives; solutions are univariate functions. Partial differential equation (PDE): involves partial derivatives; solutions are multivariate functions.
Order =order of highest derivative with respect to any variable.
Partial integration Instead of constant, add function of other variable(s)
