Systems of linear equations‚ or a set of equations with two or more variables‚ are an essential part of finding solutions with only limited information‚ which happens to be exactly what algebra is. As a required part of any algebra student’s life‚ it is best to understand how they work‚ not only so an acceptable grade is received‚ but also so one day the systems can be used to actually find desired information with ease. There are three main methods of defining a system of linear equations. One way is

Without knowing something about differential equations and methods of solving them‚ it is difficult to appreciate the history of this important branch of mathematics. Further‚ the development of differential equations is intimately interwoven with the general development of mathematics and cannot be separated from it. Nevertheless‚ to provide some historical perspective‚ we indicate here some of the major trends in the history of the subject‚ and identify the most prominent early contributors. Other

Heat Equation from Partial Differential Equations An Introduction (Strauss) These notes were written based on a number of courses I taught over the years in the U.S.‚ Greece and the U.K. They form the core material for an undergraduate course on Markov chains in discrete time. There are‚ of course‚ dozens of good books on the topic. The only new thing here is that I give emphasis to probabilistic methods as soon as possible. Also‚ I introduce stationarity before even talking about state classification

mathematics at a deeper level. Review of homogeneous equations The homogeneous constant coefficient linear equation an y (n) +· · ·+a1 y +a0 y = 0 has the characteristic polynomial an rn +· · ·+a1 r+a0 = 0. From the roots r1 ‚ . . . ‚ rn of the polynomial we can construct the solutions y1 ‚ . . . ‚ yn ‚ such as y1 = er1 x . We can also rewrite the equation in a weird-looking but useful way‚ using the symbol d D = dx . Examples: equation: y − 5y + 6y = 0. polynomial: r2 − 5r + 6 = 0. (factored):

The reason why the Drake Equation is not a successful science is because it would be impossible to calculate some of the elements in the equation. The elements would take too long to get an accurate sample to give a scientifically sound explanation. For instance how would you calculate fi (the fraction of intelligent life forms)‚ how do you define intelligent? Is intelligent like you and I‚ is it like a bird or a rat‚ could it be a plant? There is no way to truly determine what counts and doesn’t

7 Ordinary Differential Equations Matlab has several different functions for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations. This chapter describes the simplest of these functions and then compares all of the functions for efficiency‚ accuracy‚ and special features. Stiffness is a subtle concept that plays an important role in these comparisons. 7.1 Integrating Differential Equations The initial value problem for an ordinary differential equation involves finding a function
