Homework assignments will usually be posted a week before they are due (generally on Fridays). A subset of the underlined problems will be graded; if a problem is not underlined it is recommended but need not be handed in. Solutions and point values for graded problems will be posted after assignments are collected.

Our course TA Victor Camacho has written up guidelines for how you should present your homework solutions,

Due April 25 (Monday, 5:00 p.m.)
    quakeproj.pdf    browser-readable version
    quakeproj.mw    open this maple worksheet from Maple using "open URL" - modify it to make your solution file!
    apr15.pdf    contains commands which will help (after modification) with the earthquake project
Note: original version of April 15 Maple notes used the command "norm", which did not work for one of your classmates. The actual correct command in LinearAlgebra is "Norm", and I've changed the Maple file below to reflect this. Note: As on the earlier projects, you may work in teams of 2 people; make sure to put both your names onto the single project you hand in.
    apr15.mw    open from maple!
    earthquakecomments.pdf    explains why our forcing vector is the same on every floor, even though the building is being shaken at the bottom.

Don't bother printing out any other phase portraits in this homework assignment, no matter what the text asks for.
     9.4  9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16.
   Grading: this assignment is not being graded, but you are responsible for the material in these sections - make sure you understand these concepts and know how to do these sorts of problems.
