    Greatest Common Factors

    Find the GCF: (12,18), (16,20) (44,153) I tried to do on my own, I'm not sure if I understand what I am doing. If you can would it be possible to describe in details exactly what I should be doing. Thanks.

    Proving Differentiability

    Please see the attached file for the fully formatted problems. 2. Suppose that f, g, h are three functions defined on (a, b) and c (a, b). Assume that f and h are differentiable at c, f(c) = h(c), and f(x) g(x) h(x) for all x (a, b). Prove that g is also differentiable at c and (c) = (c) = (c).

    Population Growth Problems

    In a galaxy far, far away (my professor writes his own practice problems), on the planet Xylor, a herd of 100 Tybars was introduced for breeding. After 5 years, the herd had increased to 500. If the rate of herd growth is assumed to be directly proportional to the number of Tybars present on Xylor at any time t: a. How many T

    Green's Functions, Parabolic Equations and Heat Equation

    I am having great difficulty understanding how you derive Green's functions, particularly how the boundary conditions are incorporated.
