Notes
- This is a take home exam.
- There are four pages with four problems on each page. You should work any 3 of the 4 problems on each page for a total of 12 problems. Each problem is worth 4 points.
- If you choose to work all four problems on a page, then each problem on that page will be worth 3 points; you do not get the "best 3 out of 4" problems.
- After setting up the problems, you should use the computer as much as possible to solve them. "As much as possible" includes use of the ode2(), ic1(), and ic(2) commands.
- You may still need to do some things by hand as Maxima has a tendency to give you answers like log(-772).
