Preliminary Midsemester Grades are posted

March 14, 2019 / Jonas Reitz / 0 Comments

Hi everyone,

Your Midsemester Grades are posted under Dashboard/GradeBook).

What is this for?

These grades are not entered into the transcript, but serve as important guidance to students and an opportunity to review their progress in the course. – Provost August

The grades are based on work completed so far:

WeBWorK performance (weighted 35%)
the first OpenLab assignment (weighted 15%)
Exam 1 (weighted 50%)

The grading scheme is as follows:

P=Passing work
BL= Borderline
U=Unsatisfactory
SA=Stopped Attending

NOTE: For those of you that decide to take advantage of the EXAM 1 SPECIAL OFFER, your score on Exam 1 may change. This, in turn, may affect your standing in the course. Feel free to ask me for an updated Midsemester Grade after the SPECIAL OFFER is returned.

Heads up: The last day to drop the class with a “W” grade is April 1st. If you decide to drop, it is *much* better to do so before that date (but you should be aware of any financial aid impact that dropping a class may have). Please let me know if you wish to discuss it.

-Prof. Reitz

Equivariance of Dubins Model?
Suppose I have the following simple car model of a Dubins Model: $$\overset{\cdot}{x} = v\cos{\theta}$$ $$\overset{\cdot}{y} = v\sin{\theta}$$ $$\overset{\cdot}{\theta} = \frac{v}{L}\tan{\phi}$$ Is this model equivariant to rotation? I cannot seem to prove it either way.
Which are the steps to obtain the canonical form of a PDE like $x\,u_{xx}-y\,u_{yy}=0$, please?
First I think I should classify it in relation if $x>0$ (hyperbolic) or $x
How do I solve a $1\times 1$ eigenvalue problem that includes the variable of the function in the equation.
I was wondering how this equation, $$\frac{\partial^2 y}{\partial x^2}+ \lambda(a+x)^by=0$$ with the conditions $$y(0)=y(c)=0$$ In this case, $y$ is a function of $x$, $y(x)$. Constants are: $a,b,c$, the eigenvalue is: $\lambda$. It is also suggested that I should use this substitution $$a+x=e^z$$ So far I have used the substitution method described above and used that […]
what if an equation and an integral disagree in a system of differential equations?
This question is related to another question about adding a derivative to a system of differential equations. I'm trying to separate the two questions in that post. I have a system of differential equations. The two relevant ones are these: $$i' = \frac{v-ir-id'k_1}{ik_2}$$ $$d'' = i^2k_3M(d)$$ We're solving this numerically, so we'll introduce the equations: […]
Solving forced 2nd order ODE with cubic forcing
Motivated from mathematical biology, I wish to solve explicitly the following: $D\dfrac{d^2n}{dx^2}=n(n-0.5)(n-1)$ subject to the conditions: $\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}n(x)=1$ $\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}n(x)=0$ $n(0)=0.5$ Any suggestions or hints?
How to find Riemannian invariants of a system
I'm trying to find the Riemann invariants of the system \begin{array}{l} \frac{\partial \alpha }{\partial t} +( \alpha +V)\frac{\partial \alpha }{\partial x} -\alpha \frac{\partial V}{\partial x} =0\\ \\ \frac{\partial V}{\partial t} +V\frac{\partial \alpha }{\partial x} =0 \end{array} But I don't understand what to do with the characteristic matrix \begin{array} \displaystyle \begin{pmatrix} \alpha +V & -\alpha \\ […]
Alternatives to solve these ODEs
I am trying to model some physical phenomena using the following ODE : $f'' = 1/f$ with initial conditions $f(0) = 1/10 , f'(0) = 0$. I have solved it nummerically on a computer and also tried to linearize about a critical point. However there is no exact critical points and in the case the […]
Spectrum of a positive definite differential operator
When solving the two body problem in three dimensions in my QM lectures, you end up, essentially, with the Legendre associated equation. In terms of the angular momentum operator: $$L^2Y_l^m(\theta, \varphi)=\lambda \hbar^2Y_l^m(\theta, \varphi)$$ More explicitly: $$\left(\frac{1}{sin\theta}\frac{\partial}{\partial \theta}\left(sin\theta\frac{\partial}{\partial \theta}\right)+\frac{1}{sin^2\theta}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial \varphi^2}\right)Y_l^m(\theta,\varphi)=-\lambda Y_l^m(\theta,\varphi)$$ Now, just by looking at this equation, my professor claims the operator is positive definite, […]
Why is my laplace transform of unit step functions wrong?
$ f(t) = \cases{ 0 & $0 \le t < 5$ \cr (t-5)/5 & $5\le t\le 10$ \cr 1 & $t \ge 10$ } $ in terms of step functions, $f(t) = \frac{(u_5(t)(t-5) - u_{10}(t)(t-10)%)}{5} $ When I take laplace of both sides I get $\mathcal{L}[f(t)] = \frac{e^{-5s}\mathcal{L}[f(t)]}{5} - \frac{e^{-10s}\mathcal{L}[f(t)]}{5} $. Dividing both sides by […]
Apply the definition to determine the Laplace transform [closed]
$$laplace\:\left(\begin{cases}sent&0\le \:t\le \pi \\ \:\:\:\:1&t>\pi \end{cases}\right)$$
