===================== Tutorial 4 ==============================

This is the solution to tutorial 4:
Official: http://www.mediafire.com/?evnz1yzamwt.

Tutorial notes is in revision, and I will upload the notes in Friday evening. You can find the file in my web site: http://jin.chenyuan.googlepages.com/ma1506.

In this tutorial, we need some conclusions mentioned in the tutorial notes (chapter 2). You can also refer to the following book for this part.


===================== Mid-term ==============================


Next week is the recess week, and we do not have tutorial next week. After the recess, we are facing the mid-term. For the test, you must be familiar with all kinds of solutions mentioned in lecture notes or in my tutorial notes 2 and 3.

Besides the official practise exercises, you can also try the following excellent books (Some contents may out of syllabus, just ignore it)

1) James C. Robinson - An Introduction to Ordinary Differential Equations (2004)
Book: http://www.mediafire.com/?dowyv1190xj.
Solution: http://www.mediafire.com/?az9vdxxinn4.

You can try the following chapters and sections:
Part I: ch8, ch9, ch10(sec2)
Part II: ch12, ch14
Part III: ch19 (elective, just because your lecture notes example (chapter 1 example 25), detail in: http://www.mediafire.com/?8zwtvdgdggg.)


2) Martin Braun - Differential Equations and Their Applications (1983)
Book with answers to odd-numbered exercises:
http://www.mediafire.com/?2myzp55ssfn.

This book is a clearly written, rigorous introduction to differential equations and some excellent applications, which are just the sources of the headache word problems in the tutorial.

You can try the following chapters and sections:
Chapter 1: 1.1 - 1.8; and Chapter 2: 2.2 - 2.7


3) Steven G. Krantz - Differential Equations Demystified (2004)
Book: http://www.mediafire.com/?fctynsnquxv.

You can try the following chapters and sections:
1.7, 1.8, 1.9(elective), 2.1, 2.1, 2.3.
