Problem Sheets
A problem sheet will be published each Wednesday on this webpage. Moreover the printouts will be distributed at the ID.
Problem Sheet No. 1 (linear independence, basis, subspace, lines, planes)
Problem Sheet No. 2 (basis, dimension, normal form, distance, scalar product)
Problem Sheet No. 3 (normal form, distance, linear transformations, matrix product, rotation matrix)
Problem Sheet No. 4 (rotation/reflection/projection matrix, linear systems, dimension formula)
Problem Sheet No. 5 (cross product, determinant)
Problem Sheet No. 6 (eigenvalues, eigenspaces, diagonalization, first order differential equations)
Problem Sheet No. 7 (differential equations: Bernoulli, homogeneuous linear second/higher order, initial value problems)
Problem Sheet No. 8 (differential equations: Euler, systems; fundamental solution, Wronskian)
Problem Sheet No. 9 (differential equations: particular solutions (method of undetermined coefficients, method of variation of parameters), power series method)
Problem Sheet No. 10 (power series method, Laplace transform)
Problem Sheet No. 11 (Laplace transform: differentiation in preimage and image space; applications to differential equations)
Problem Sheet No. 12 (Laplace transform: convolution theorem, Delta-distribution; partial derivatives, gradient, Jacobian, Hessian matrix)
Students should solve the problems independently, after that they could discuss the solutions in groups of two and could also submit one solution set per group. Only handwritten solutions will be accepted.
The solutions will be corrected and graded by the tutor (Dhruv Singhal). Your graded solutions are available during the tutorial.
For each problem sheet one can obtain 50 points (10 points per exercise). Please note the criteria for the testat in the section below!
Extra material
- exercise class 09: Power series method (last example from exercise class)
Tutorial
There is a student tutorial given by Dhruv Singhal, Wednesdays 17:30- 19:00.
In the tutorial you will practice solving the exercises and there is room for questions.
The Testat
If you successfully work on the home work (problem sheets), a testat will be given to you at the end of the semester. This testat is necessary for you to be admitted to the exam.
For the testat, you have to satisfy the following criteria:
- Obtain at least 125 points on worksheets 1 to 10. This is 25% of all the total points obtainable (each worksheet is worth 50 points).
- For at least 8 of those worksheets have at least 5 points from each.
