Math 2250-1
Tues Nov 6
Homework problem session today 12:55-1:45 JTB 310, for HW due Wednesday.
Go over last spring exam today 4:30-6:00 Web L104 (here).
Wednesday will be a review day for the exam on Thursday. Remember that on Thursday we start 5
minutes early and end 5 minutes late, so that you will be taking the exam from 8:30-9:30 am, in JFB 103.
Make sure to bring your student I.D.'s.
10.2-10.3 Laplace transform, and application to DE IVPs, including Chapter 5.
Today we'll continue to fill in the Laplace transform table (on page 2), and to use the table entries to solve
linear differential equations. One focus today will be to review partial fractions, since the table entries are
set up precisely to show the inverse Laplace transforms of the components of partial fraction
decompositions.
Exercise 1) Check why this table entry is true - notice that it generalizes how the Laplace transforms of
cos k t , sin k t are related to those of ea t cos k t , ea t sin k t :
ea t f t
F sKa
, Next, use Monday's notes to complete the concepts and discussion related to Exercises 5-8 in those
notes.
, Then, here's a complement to Exercise 8 in Monday's notes (in which we considered the resonant case):
Exercise 2) Use Laplace transforms to solve the general undamped forced oscillation problem, when
w s w0 :

x## t C w0 x t = F0 sin w t
x 0 = x0
x# 0 = v0
when w s w0 .
