The reading and homework assignments for Week #1 have been posted. Follow the link from the Schedule Page of the course website. You will have to take a short tour of the Policies page before you can view the Exercises.
The assignment for this week should not be especially strenuous. If you have any questions or concerns, though, I encourage you to post a comment under this entry. Your TA's and I will try to review the comments and respond as needed. Probably not at 2:00am, though.
Alternatively, if you see a question you feel like answering, you can go ahead and do that too.
UPDATE: I've corrected the pdf file to correct the typo in problem 1.3.2. I've also corrected the due date in the pdf file: Friday 19 January.

There's an error on the first question. It should probably read as d^2 y / dx^2 instead of d^y / dt^2.
Hi Anonymous
The question should read d^2 y / d^2 t, i.e. the second derivative of y with respect to t.
anonymous, I've corrected the error in the pdf file. I also corrected the due date: January 19.
Can we use the 7th edition of the book or do we have to get the 8th edition?
for the third problem, are we to assume that it is sin(lambda and x) and sin(lambda and a and t)? or just the first term for each???
Whenever sin is written that way, it includes all the terms after it. Otherwise, it would always be VERY unclear...
Besides, when you see: sin 5x, do you think that means (sin 5)*x or sin (5x)???
anonymous at 2:01,
there are some changes from the 7th to the 8th edition, notably in the exercises. I say a bit more on this topic in this post.
anonymous at 7:31,
anonymous at 9:02 is correct. sin λx sin λat should be read as sin (λx) sin (λat).
Are there going to be practice/review problems for the test posted soon??? I'd really like to start studying over break. thanks
