  1. Compute the Fourier series of the function

    \begin{displaymath}
f(x)=\left\{
\begin{array}{lcr}
-x, \:\:\:\:\:\: -\pi < &x& < 0\\
x, \:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\: 0 < &x& < \pi
\end{array}\right.
\end{displaymath}

  2. Find a solution of the IVP,

    \begin{eqnarray*}
u_{t}&=&{1\over 2}u_{xx},\;  0 \le x \le 1, \; t\in{\rm I\!R}...
...\
u(x,0)&=&{1\over 2}\cos (3 \pi x) - {3\over 5} \cos (7\pi x),
\end{eqnarray*}



    for the heat distribution in a rod with insulated ends,

    \begin{displaymath}
u_x(0,t) = 0 = u_x(1,t), \; t\in{\rm I\!R}^+.
\end{displaymath}

    Express the solution as a Fourier series.
  3. Solve the IVP,

    \begin{eqnarray*}
u_{tt}-u_{xx}&=&0 , \; 0 \le x \le 1,
\; t\in{\rm I\!R}^+ ,\\
u(x,0)&=&\sin (\pi x)\\
u_t(x,0)&=&-3 \sin (3 \pi x),
\end{eqnarray*}



    with the vanishing BC,

    \begin{displaymath}
u(0,t)=0= u(1,t), \; \; t\in{\rm I\!R}^+.
\end{displaymath}

    Express the solution as a Fourier series.
  4. Solve the BVP

    \begin{eqnarray*}
u_{xx}+u_{yy}&=&0 ,\ \; 0 \le x \le 1,\ \; 0 \le y \le 1\\
u(...
...e y \le 1\\
u(x,0)&=&0,\;\; u(x,1) \;=\; x^2,\ \; 0 \le x \le 1
\end{eqnarray*}



  5. Solve the BVP,

    \begin{displaymath}
u_{xx}+u_{yy}= \sin (6\pi x)\cos (2\pi y) + 4 \cos (4\pi x)\cos (10\pi y), \; 0 \le x, y \le 1
\end{displaymath}

    with periodic BC,

    \begin{displaymath}
u(x+1,y)=u(x,y), \; u(x,y+1)=u(x,y), 0 \le x, y \le 1.
\end{displaymath}
