Required textbook:
Notes will be posted here as they become available throughout the course.
For the first lecture the material is not from the book, the notes for this lecture can be downloaded here:
Summary sheet for material covered in exam 1.
A single-page summary of solution methods for first-order differential equations (the first third of the course).
Examples of using Euler's method, including demonstration of order (Euler is 1st order, RK4 is 4th).
Example problems on determining whether a set is or is not a vector space. (Be warned: these are very random problems -- probably more "out there" than you'll ever really meet, but good practice at thinking abstractly.)
For the last lecture of week 8, the lecture will be on complex numbers.
Examples in Matlab will be posted here as they become available throughout the course.
MatLab functions for demonstrating chaos in Newton's method: newtfractal.m and newtfractal_boa.m. Type "help newtfractal" (or newtfractal_boa) in MatLab to see run syntax.
