Pre-req material
Integration by parts (12:44 min video),
slides pptx,
annotated slides: View anytime before the end of week 1
This is a quick review of integration by parts.
Note integration by parts comes from the product rule for differention (slide 1).
We cover doing repeated integration by parts in a single step (slide 8) as well as solving for an integral to calculate $\int e^{2x} sin(3x)dx$ (slides 9 - 15).
Consider stopping the video to do the examples on your own. Or take a look at slides 1, 8, 15 if you are already comfortable with integration by parts.
See Paul's online notes for some interesting integration by parts examples.
Linear algebra + partial fractions review (25:45 min video),
slides,
annotated slides: View anytime before the end of week 1
We will use several concepts that you have seen before in linear algebra. While you do not need an abstract understanding of these concepts for this course, it can be helpful (especially for future courses and out in the real world) to see how concepts that seem different can be very similar (for example, working with vectors, polynomials, or solutions to linear differential equations).
We will use the language of linear algebra in a very concrete setting: existence and uniqueness of solutions to linear differential equations.
Theorem 2.4.2/domain (28:41 min video)slides,
annotated slides: View after 2.4 in class lecture and before doing 2.4 HW
Thm 2.4.2 can sometimes be used to determine if an IVP has a unique solution, but it cannot be used to determine the domain of that solution. In this video, we first use Thm 2.4.2 to determine when $y' = 1/[(1-t)(2-y)$, $y(t_0) = y_0$ is guaranteed to have a uniqe solution. We then use a lot of algebra and a little bit of calculus to solve this DE and determine the domain of this solution when the initial value is the point (0, 1).
