Homework 10. Wed, 4/2:
Dif. Eq. book 7.3 (p. 309) 5,6 7, 11
Dif. Eq. book 9.1 (p.388) 1 acdegij, 3ace. For each system in problem 1, classify the solutions as one of : stable node (sink), unstable node (source), saddle, stable spiral, unstable spiral or center (periodic). In problem 3, note that the systems are closely related to systems in problem 1. Problem 3 should take very little time.

Homework 11. Wed, 4/16:
Dif. Eq. book 9.1 (p.388) 3ce, 5.   (Note that 3ce were assigned last time, but now we know how to do them!)
Dif. Eq. book 9.3 (p.407) 1aei.   You can check your answers by checking that they satisfy the differential equation for dy/dx that gives the trajectories in the phase plane.
Dif. Eq. book 9.5 (p.428) 3, 5acegi, 9.   In problem 5, ignore the stuff about the "fundamental matrix" and just solve the system by finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Problem 3 is rather theoretical, but give it a try.
One more problem. This problem was based on a published article. You may need to be on a university computer for this link to work.

Homework 12. Wed, 4/23:
Dif. Eq. book 8.2 (p.330) 1 aceg, 3ac. In problem 1, ignore the part of the question that refers to the Oscillation and Relation theorems.
Dif. Eq. book 8.3 (p. 336) 1, 2, 3 ac
Dif. Eq. book 8.4 (p. 341) 3 cgik
Two more problems.
Homework 13. Wed, 5/7:
