Linear Methods of Applied Mathematics
Evans M. Harrell II and James V. Herod*
This homework consists of some representative problems from courses which are prerequisites for this course. In case you have much difficulty with these questions, some relevant courses are noted.
Please attempt the problems first without reference to written materials. Write "-1/3" next to your answer if you had to look up how to do a given problem.
The answer should be a pretty simple mathematical expression.
