Outline of Chapter 3
- 3.1, 3.5, & 3.4 cover second order liner equations with constant
coefficients. These are pretty easy so I did not prepare my notes for scanning.
- 3.2 & 3.3 are theoretical. This is tricky material. Many students in the
past have complaned that they could not follow the textbook. So, I wrote up
some notes. They are still rough. Please ask questions and feel free to point
out mistakes in them. Here is the link: thy.pdf
(The PDF file generated an error, but did display correctly.)
- 3.6 & 3.7 deal with nonhomogeneous systems. Some students had trouble
understanding Table 3.6.1, so I re-did it.
See table.html.
- 3.8 & 3.9 deal with applications of second order systems.
