You are here:
I can help you in solving first and second order differential equations. Questions must be at the Undergraduate level. Do not expect me to do all your homework.. If you have a homework question with no clues on how to go about, I will only give you some pointers on solving them.
Ph.D. in Mathematics with more than 20 years of teaching.
In addition to undergraduate calculus, I taught many more advanced subjects like Complex Analysis, General Topology, Numerical Analysis, Operations Research, Graph Theory, Mathematical Analysis, Mathematical Economics, Optimisation Theory.
Ph.D. (University of Toledo, USA)
Differential equations have applications in many areas. One can solve many real life problems using methods of differential equations.
Yes, the elements can be any real or complex numbers. In fact, one can consider matrices with elements from any Field. (In mathematics, a field is an algebraic structure more general than real or complex
Hi Joe, I am not an expert in this area (Pdes) that is why I rejected your question. If you still insist, then let me give you my view: The way the maximum principle works is first show that the maximum
Replacing x by x+1 changes to eqn to dy/dx = 2/(x+1) + 3 - (x + 1)^2 [note dy/d(x+1) = dy/dx) Expand 2/(x+1) into a power series (powers of x): 2/(x+1) = 2 (1 - x + x^2 - x^3 + .... ) (x + 1)^2
x^3=2y^3=2(2x^3)=4x^3 x^3 - 4x^3 = 0 -3x^3=0 x=0 So x=0, y=0 is the only critical point of the system. If you want to study further, you can find particular solutions: The function y(t) = 0 satisfies
A function f(x) is concave if its second-order derivative f''(x) is negative. In your example, y = a x^b, therefore dy/dx = abx^(b-1) and the second derivative is d^2y/dx^2 = a b (b-1) x^(b-2) Since
