Homework Statement
Four masses M in deep space are connected by four identical light springs with spring constant k and equilibrium length L. The four mass, four spring assembly is square and lies in a plane; all four masses are rotating with ω =√(k/M), in uniform circular motion about an axis...
Sorry for the confusion but here is what I was trying to do
At the bottom of the hoop, as the hoop starts to rotate, that must mean that friction is causing the rotation. In my free body diagram I had. friction to left of point of contact and Normal up and weight down. Friction acting on the...
Homework Statement
One afternoon, you are playing on a wooden basketball court with a hula‐hoop to amuse yourself. The hoop has a mass of 500g and a radius of 55 cm. After practicing a bit, you find that you can launch the hoop so that its plane is vertical, it isn’t rotating before it hits...
Homework Statement
Solve the Cauchy problem
ut =kuxx, x ∈ R, t>0, u(x, 0) = φ(x),
for the following initial conditions.
(a) φ(x)=1if |x|<1 and φ(x)=0 if |x|>1.
Write the solutions in terms of the erf function.

u(x,t)=∫G(x-y,t)*φ(y)dy from -∞, to ∞
where G(x,t) is...
Homework Statement
Suppose that k(t) is a continuous function with positive values. Show that for any t (or at least for any t not too large), there is a unique τ so that τ =∫ (k(η)dη,0,t); conversely
any such τ corresponds to a unique t. Provide a brief explanation on why there is such a...
Homework Statement
Verify that, for any continuously differentiable function g and any constant c, the function
u(x, t) = 1/(2c)∫(x + ct)(x - ct) g(z) dz ( the upper limit (x + ct) and lower limit (x - ct))
is a solution to the PDE utt = c2uxx.

Yes I agree to but do you think they do the Fourier series and decomposition in a regular differential equations (Math 221 at my university). Also how important is complex eigenvalues.
In the high school DiffEq class these were the following topics that I covered:
First Order (no Picard Methods, or Ricatti and Clairaut equations) and their applications
Higher Order Differential Equations and their applications
Cauchy-Euler Equation, Power Series Solution
Laplace...
Oh by the it looks like my university refers to ODE as the mathematically rigorous version of (non-partial) differential equation. Here is the description for the actual ODE (which is higher than differential equation and pde.

Well back in my high school Differential Equations it was dual enrollment class (which I did not pay for at the time) and so you would get the credit at a state university.
Also looking at the college description describes pretty much what I did:
"First- and second-order methods for...
Hey everyone
I am going to be a freshman this fall (in college). I am currently having a dilemma in choosing my math class. In high school I took classes all the way up to Honors Differential Equations (ODE). In June I went to the university and signed up for Ordinary Differential Equation...
