17 Feb 2017. Here is a simulation of heat equation in 1D : heat.m. Blue and red colors shows graph of temperature distribution on two different rods. Also note the the simulation speed is variable (it runs in 3 speeds and you can notice it from the time counter). Feel free to play with it by changing its various parameters.  HW#7 is posted and due next Thursday.



 10 Feb 2017.

20 Jan 2017. There were more than 5 students interested in the study group, so I think  an email group would be better. I created an email group at MCommunity.  The group name is Math450-W2017-Study. You should already be a member if you emailed me. Otherwise you can join to the group at https://mcommunity.umich.edu

After you became a member you can send emails to the group (Math450-W2017-Study@umich.edu) when you want to initiate a study group. Or if you already plan to study you can invite others For example : "I am interested in discussing HW3. I'll be studying at Duderstadt Center from 2-4pm".



19 Jan 2017.  HW#3 is due next Thursday. The questions with star won't be graded, you should solve them but you don't need to return. Send me an email if you are interested in joining a study group consists of your classmates. You can discuss homework problems and share solutions in the group, however, each student must write/type the homework individually.



12 Jan 2017.
  HW#2 is posted. Note that office hours are now :  Mondays 1-3pm,  Wednesdays: 1-2pm.  We'll start Section 21.1 in our next class.
