Prologue MAM 2080W is a demanding subject.

By the time you are done with the subject you should have resolved 25 tutorials, 12 exercise sheets, 4 tests and 2 exams as part of the subjects program.

This means that regardless of how intelligent you are, you must dedicate yourself to at least finishing all tutorials in time, so that you can get all your doubts cleared up with time.

I also advise you to, after each lecture, spend 20 min revising it. It ends up saving you dozens of hours of study.

I was always the intelligent type, never doing much work for subjects and cruising through them.

I tried the same approach with MAM2080W and found myself repeating the course twice until I accepted that I had to dedicate myself to work.

Most of us learn maths 20% through theory and 80% through resolving exercises.

To make it simple just imagine MAM2080W as an old steam powered locomotive. It starts very slowly and slowly picks up speed.

You are a passenger of that locomotive, and you do not want to fall off. If you try to board the train slightly after it has departed you can run for a bit and still catch the slowly accelerating train. But after a month or so this train will be cruising at such high speed and accelerating that it will require you to run in a struggle for very long until you can catch the train.

MAM 2080W’s course convener Alan Rynhoud is the most arrogant lecturer I have ever met at UCT. Do not get put off by his claims since the very first day of lectures, that you will fail MAM2080W. Do not give him the pleasure. The course is as pre-historic as he is.

All exercise sheets only change when the pre-described book gets updated, and even then only the exercise numbers change. Check it for yourself.

The tutorials simply do not change!

I found the tests to be repetitive throughout the years, so have a good look at past papers to see if you are prepared for the test ahead.

This book is a result of my struggle with the subject, and now I am sharing it with you. With it you will not need to go scavenge for past tests to confirm how well prepared you are, or go hunting for the exercise sheet that was handed in the day you could not make it to the lecture, I have done that for you!

So I strongly advise you to take benefit of this book and with it prepare yourself to cruise through the subject!

Log on to http://mam2080w.blogspot.com/ to support your fellow students with 2009 past papers, tutorials, exercise sheets….

I plan on making this resource book free from 2010 onwards, so it is up to you to keep it updated.

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS

MAM2080W -INFORMATION SHEET - 2008

GENERAL MAM2080W is a core course taken by all second year Engineering students. The main topics to be covered in the course are (a) functions of several variables, and the integration and differentiation of such functions; (b) basic matrix methods, including the process of diagonalisation; (c) solutions of differential equations (both ordinary and partial) , and an introduction to the method of Laplace transforms.

These topics build on the material covered in MAM 1 003W and thus it is essential that you start with a good understanding of all the material in the first year mathematics course.

LECTURES The course consists of 96 lectures, four lectures per week in the first period on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Students will be divided into three groups for lectures. The lecturing team together with their office numbers are listed below: Mr Alan Rynhoud (Convenor) Mi Pieter Moster Prof John Webb

Room 416 Room 109 Room 322

Students are encouraged to visit the lecturers in their offices if they have any problems or queries concerning the course.

EXERCISE SHEETS Lists of problems (exercise sheets) will be handed out In lectures at the start of each section. In order to understand and master the ideas discussed in the lectures, students need to practice and wrestle with problems. These exercise sheets will provide the necessary problems. Note that the answers to the problems will be given, but worked solutions will NOT be provided. Should you be unable to start a problem, or be uncertain as to whether or not your attempt is correct, take the attempt to one of the lecturers. It is intended that the exercise sheets be completed in your own- time, that is, outside the allocated tutorials times. You should do the problems in parallel with the lectures and not leave them until a section has been completed.

TUTORIALS Each student registered for MAM2080W will be required to attend a two-period tutorial per week in 6th and ih periods as follows: Tuesdays Chemical Wednesdays - Electrical Thursdays Civil , Mechanical and Geomatics

You will be informed of the venues in lectures. Attendance is compulsory and a register will be taken. These tutorials will be run in a similar way to those in MAM1003W last year. Students will be required to work in groups on a set of problems, which will be handed out at the tutorials. Staff and tutors will be available to assist the groups during these sessions. The tutorial questions set will provide a link between the material discussed in lectures and the problems set on the exercise sheets, and thus in our view form a vital part of the course. Ensure that you have read your lecture notes before attending a tutorial if you wish to benefit from the tutorial.

EXAMINATIONS The final examination for MAM2080W consists of two papers. The fi rst !s writt~n in June Arc! the ~econd paper !s written in November. Each of these papers will

be not longer than 2% hours.

CLASS TESTS Four class tests will be held during the year. They wi!! be written as

follows: Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Test 4

Monday, 31 March Monday 12 May Monday, 25 August Monday 6 October

18hOO -19h15 18hOO -19h15 18hOO -19h15 18hOO -19h15

Venues will be announced during lectures. Class test results and related notices will be cjisplayed on the departmental notice board outside Room 206. Please consult th is notice board regularly. In both the class tests and the examinations, marks will be allocated to the presentation (logic and clarity) of your solutions as well as to the correctness.

CALCULATORS Only calculators which have been approved by the Depat1ment of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics may be used in class tests and examinations. A list of the approved calculators is posted on the relevant departmental notice board. This is the same list of calculators which was allowed for MAM1003W in 2007.

TEXTBOOK The prescribed textbook for MAM2080W (carried over from MAM1003W) is "Calculus: Concepts and Contexts" by James Stewart 3

rd edition (long

version) . It will be assumed that each student registered for the course has a copy of the prescribed text.

CLASS RECORD, DP, SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATIONS Your class record for MAM2080W is the average of your four class test marks. Students will be awarded a DP if (i) they have a class record of at least 35%, and (ii) they attend at least 80% of the tutorials for the course. The class record (CR) counts 40% towards the final mark for the course. Thus, if you obtain x% for paper 1 in June and y% for paper 2 in November, your final mark will be calculated as follows

FINAL MARK = 4CR + 3x+3v% 10

Please note that NO supplementary examinations will be offered for MAM2080W.

ABSENCE FROM CLASS TESTS Absence from a class test will mean that the student scores 0% for that test. Medical certificates must state that the student is unable to write the class test on that particular day, and must be presented personally to the course convenor, who will then discuss the matter with the student. If a medical certificate is accepted the student's class record will be the average of the remaining three class tests. If more than one medical certificate is presented, the student may be required to sit an alternative test or an oral at a time specified by the course convenor.

TUTORIAL 20

1. Which , if any, of the following arguments are correct:

(a) Let S = {x,x2,X3 }

Form the equation ax + /3x2 + 6x3 = O. (*) Put x = 1 in (*) to get a + ,8 + Ii = 0

9, 10, 11 SEPTEMBER 2008

This equation has a = 10, (3 = 2, 6 = - 12 as a solution, and since (*) has a non-zero solution, the set S is linearly dependent.

(b) Let S = {x, x 2 , x 3 }

Form the equa.tion ax + /3x 2 + b"x3 = O. (+) Put x = 1 in (+) to get a + ,6 + <5 = O. Put x = -1 in (+) to get -a + /3 - 0 = O. Put x = 2 in (+) to get 2a + 4/3 + 80 = O. This system of equations has a = (3 = c5 = 0 as the only solution.

However, since we have only investigated the values x = 1, x = -1, x = 2, we cannot conclude that S is a linearly independent set of functions.

2. Use the definition to decide whether or not the following sets of functions are linearly de­pendent on the indicated intervals:

(ii) {cos2 x, sin2 x, I}, (-00,00)

(iii) {2 + x, x - x2, 3x2 + X + 8} , (-00,00)

(iv) {x2 , xlxl}, [0, 00)'

(v) {x2 , xix!}, (-00,00)

3. Show that y(x) = x-I and Vex) = e-x are both solutions to the differential equation xyl/(x) + (x - l)y'(x) - Vex) = o. Find the general solution to this differential equation, and hence the general solution to the differential equation xY"(x) + (x - l)y'(x) - y(x) = 5. Which results have you used to obtain the general solution?

4. Write down the general real solution to each of the following differential equations:

(i) ylll(X) + 31/'(x ) - 4y(x) = 0

(ii) yl/(x) + 4y(x) = 0

(iii) y"(X) + 2y'(x) + 5y(x) = 0

(iv) y(4)(X) + 8y"(X) + 16y(x) = 0

(v) (D3 + 1) Y = 0

(vi) (D + 1)4y = 0

(vii) (D4 + l)y = O.

(vIi) What fact gllarar.:.tees that the system of equations you obtained ~n (iii) bas a unique solution?

(viii) Find the solution of (*) that satisfies y(l) = 1, y'(l) = O.
