11. Feb 6, 2017

* There was a question from many of you about Problem 12 in Section 2.8. After looking at the problem carefully, it turns out that the problem lacks one important condition, |y|<1. Without it, the Taylor series approximation (or Geometric series) of 1/(y-1) diverges and the problem becomes unsolvable. Even with the condition, the calculations (i.e., integrations) become very complex. In this regard, please don't worry too much about the problem and focus on studying more fundamental problems for the midterm exam.

* There will be no lab sessions in the week of the midterm exam. The lab sections will resume on Feb. 24th, Friday.

12. Feb 8, 2017

* The solutions of the sample midterm exam have been posted.

15. Feb 27, 2017
