Information on Exam 2, Math 325

The first two questions are worth 2 points each, the last one 6 points
  1. Find the Fourier series of a given function and then plug a particular x to find the value of a certain infinite series (compare Problems 60 and 62).

  2. Prove a little statement concerning the solution of a certain initial value problem (this is real similar to Problems 33 and 46).

  3. Given is the diffusion equation on the interval from zero to one together with certain boundary conditions. You have to perform separation of variables and find all eigenvalues of the resulting eigenvalue problem (it will be possible to give the eigenvalues explicitely, as e.g., in Problem 55). Then you have to decide whether it's boundary conditions are symmetric. Finally, you have to find solutions of this problem that satisfy at the same time a certain initial condition u(x,0)=f(x). Well, this you have to do for three different functions f. The first two are easy while the last one is hard. Related problems from the homework assignments consist of Problems 52--59.
