Thanks :) Since you mentioned that, I remembered another time where I solved for a particular solution mg/k with just algebra, but it didn't occur to me to use it as y_p.

I get the feeling there's some sort of progression of logic that does involve variation of parameters given that this is from a math book and is from a chapter that is trying to teach how to use MUC/VoP. There wouldn't be? I thought of it like this: y(0) = L would be like if the spring...

Hey guys. This was a homework problem (I could never figure it out) and I asked my instructor for help as well as researching on the Internet, but still no dice. It seems basic enough but it bothers me that I still don't know how to solve it. Homework Statement Show that the period of the...

Thanks again. I'm off to trudge through the rain and turn this sucker in.

Thanks a lot! I guess it's being so over my head that I tend to overlook the smaller things... I have R being at 2.64 which I don't think is right for its square being a probability. We aren't looking for B / A are we?

Homework Statement An electron with KE = 8eV is incident on the potential step of height 7eV. What's the probability the electron will be reflected from the step function? Homework Equations The wave equations and their derivatives: \psi_0(x) = A sin(k_0 x) + B cos( k_0 x) \psi_1(x)...
