ANNOUNCEMENTS and ASSIGNS for PHY306

   This document is undergoing revision at the present.

Check this document frequently for updates.

CLASS ASSIGNMENTS.

Go to the network and download Mathematica 8.0 from ZENworks, Math and Statistics.
Go through the Summary I have posted on this web site.

Read over Chapter 2 in the text, especially sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9 ,  & 11.  Go through
all the examples in these sections.

Assigned Problems:

Problems are not to be submitted unless specifically stated below.

Do the problems MM1, MM2, MM3 that are given in my summary document.  These are to be
handed in on Sept. 7, 2012.

RJP-10:  See RJP Problems file.  This problem is to be submitted on 9-14-2012.

Chap. 2:

    2-4.1, 2-4.7, 2-4.11, 2-4.14, 2-4.20.
    2-5.2, 2-5.6, 2-5.16, 2-5.32, 2-5.43.
    2-9.3, 2-9.7

   Submit  RJP-112 and Boas 2-4.14 and 2-11.11 on Tues., 9-18-2012.  Recall that einPi = -1
if n is odd and = +1 if n is even, regardless if the argument of the exponential is positive
or negative.   Do not solve the problem using Mathematica.

  Submit RJP-20 on Friday, 9/21.   Submit a copy of your source program and  a plot of the M-B
function, showing along the x-axis, the initial and upper limits of  the interval of integration.
Draw vertical lines as the boundaries of  the area under the curve that is the result of  the
integration.  Give the value of the result  of  the  integration in the title  or header.  You may
use Mathematica or Excel to  plot the function.  In either case, the plot should be in landscape
format and  occupy most  of the page; the axes should be appropriately labeled  using a
proper  size font.   The graph should be high quality and  fit for publication in a journal.  Read
values of vi , vf and  N from the keyboard.   Compute dv  from  (vf -vi)/N.  Use the same
variable names in your program  that I  have just used.   Experiment with different values of N
to determine what it must be so that you  get a result  that  no longer changes in the fourth
decimal place.

Chap. 3:
  The numbering of RJP problems now includes the corresponding chapter number
  in Boas as the first number of the problem number.

   RJP-531, 545

   In Boas, look over the derivation of the Jacobian for spherical coordinates on page
    263.  Then study Examples 2, 3, and 4 on pages 263 to 265 thoroughly.  Then do:

  Boas 5-4.1a, b, c, 5-4.3a, 5-4.16

Chap. 6:

   In Boas, study the derivation of equation (3.2) on page 279 and the derivation of
equation (3.8) on page 280.

    Boas:  6-3.3, 6-3.4, 6-3.5(done in class), 6-3.6, 6-3.7a&b, 6-3.8, 6-3.19

Do RJP-618 as a challenge.

   Read over Chapter 6 sections 4, 5, and 6 in Boas and go over the examples there.

Do Boas 7-2.14, 7-3.3, 7-4.5

Do Boas 7-5.1, 7-5.2, 7-5.7

RJP 710:    Write a Fortran program that computes the values of the Fourier
harmonics for the square wave function that is done in Boas, page 353. Then inport
the data output of the program into EXCEL and plot each of the first five individual
harmonics as separate curves on the same chart over the interval of convergence.

Plot the sum of the first + secomd  harmonics, the sum of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd
harmonics and the sum of frist 20 hamonics as separate curves on the same graph,
similar to fig 7-6.2 in Boas.

Each of the two graphs should occupy one full page and the axes must be labeled correctly.
This project will be worth 80 points, so do a good job and check with me if you get hung
up.  You may discuss the project among yourselves, but everyone is to do their own
work.

Submit RJP 710 on Fri., 12/07/12.
 

Do Boas 7-8.11b, 7-8.15, 7-9.9, 7-10.5, 7-10.7, 7-12.14a,7-13.4a, 7-13.7, 7-13.14a
and RJP 721.
