Gompertz Equation

2. The Gompertz equation y'(t) = y[a-b*ln(y)] is an important model for avascular tumor growth. In the avascular growth phase, tumor cells obtain nutrients directly from the surrounding tissue. (The transition from avascular to vascular growth is marked by the onset of angiogenesis, the formation of blood vessels, which are ...continues

Initial Value Problem - IVP (Euler's Method)

3. Consider the initial value problem (IVP): y'(t) = y^2 y(0)=1 Approximate y(1) using Euler's method and step sizes of 0.25. Perform these calculations by hand (using a calculator for arithmetic is ok). What is the true value of y(1)?

Initial Value Problem (IVP); Euler's Method; Step Sizes

4. Consider the initial value problem (IVP): y'(t) = 3+t+y y(0)=1 a) Approximate y(1) using Euler's method and step sizes of 0.2. Perform these calculations by hand. What is the exact value of y(1)? b) Use the computer (e.g. ODE Architect, ODE Toolkit, or your own program) to approximate y(1) using step sizes of 0.1, 0.05, ...continues

Differential Equation (DE); Initial Value Problem (IVP)

Consider the differential equation: r^2*R"+r*R'-R=0 a) Find all values of n for which the function R=r^n is a solution to the differential equation. Do this by substituting {the solution into the DE and seeing which values of n will make the equation true. b) Solve the initial-value problem (IVP) with R(1)=2 and R'(1)=0 ...continues

Taylor Series

Recall the Taylor series Sum(x^n/n!). The same series can be used to define e^z for a complex number z=a+bi. Use the Taylor series to show that exp(iy) = cos(y) + i sin(y) for any real number y. To do this substitute iy into the series and compute several terms. Look for patterns.
