Problem notes for 2.3-10. 2.3-20 are available, Click Here.
Lecture on the Jules Verne problem from 2.3.
There will be no further discussion of 2.3 in the lectures.
Lectures begin for 2.4, 2.5, 2.6 topics on numerical solutions.
Introduction to numerical solutions of quadrature problems y'=F(x), y(x0)=y0. The examples used in maple labs 3, 4 are y'=-2xy, y(0)=2, y=2exp(-x^2) and y'=(1/2)(y-1)^2, y(0)=2, y=(x-4)/(x-2). Web notes (item 1 in the references below) contain the examples y'=3x^2-1, y(0)=2, y=x^3-x+2 and y'=exp(x^2), y(0)=2 with solution y=int(F,0..x)+0, F(x)=exp(x^2).

    On 1.5-34: The units should be taken as millions of cubic feet. The textbook gives the initial value problem x'=r_i c_i - (r_0/v)x, x(0)=x_0. The initial value is x_0 = (0.25/100)8000, the output rate is r_0=500, and the tank volume is V=8000. Please determine the value for the input concentration, constant c_i. You should obtain r_ic_i=1/4. Then solve the initial value problem. The book's answer t = 16 ln 4 = 22.2 days is correct.

    Threading edge-to-edge solutions is based upon two rules: (1) Solution curves don't cross, and (2) Threaded solution curves must match tangents with nearby arrows of the direction field. See the direction field document above for explanations. For problem 1.3-8, xerox at 200 percent the textbook page and paste the figure. Draw threaded curves on this figure according to the rules in the direction field document above.
