Hand in 10/12: the curves y=4x(1-x)
and y=sin(pix) both define arches
from (0,0) to (1,0) passing through (1/2,1). Which
arch is longer? Use your calculators to estimate
the two lengths. Is there a way to settle the
question without calculating the lengths?

Hand in 11/2: 1. Find a power series which only
converges when x=0.
2. Graph the sum of the first 3, the first 4
and the first 5 terms of the power series for
sin(x), and compare with the graph of sin(x).
Nov 2 8.11 1,41,47
Review for Midterm
Hand in 11/9: Use power series to solve the
d.e. y'' = y2 with y(0) = 1, y'(0)=0.
Calculate the coefficients a0,...,a6.
Friday November 6: Midterm II, part 1 (in class).
This part will cover methods of integration (7.1 7.2 7.3) and
numerical calculation of integrals, with error estimates (4.9).
Nov 9 Note: this week there will be two lectures on
Monday (the second during recitation time)

Friday November 13: Midterm II, part 2 (in class).
This part will cover sequences and series (8.1 through 8.10). One
20-point question will be: give the correct definition of this statement:
"The limit of the sequence a1,a2,a3,... is L."
Nov 16 6.12 1,3,11-14,15
A3 1,3,7,11,19,23,25,27
Hand in: Consider the differential equation y' = sin(x+y).
1. Sketch the slope field for -2 < x < 6, -3 < y < 3. (Note that slopes are constant along the lines x + y = C; use this fact for
C = 0, pi/2, pi, etc. to make the job easier.)
2. Let y=f(x) be the solution with initial value y(0)=0. Use your
slope field to sketch f and to estimate the first x> 0
with f(x)=0.
3. Use your Euler's method program to check the accuracy of your
estimate, and then to calculate x with 2 decimal places of accuracy.
Run the program with small n to get near the right x, and then
increase n to get a more accurate answer.
