I think there is a mistake on the solution sheet for number 12.  Shouldn't the Eigenvectors be (1,1) or (-1,-1)?  I don't see how they can be (-1,1) when I use the (B,-A) or (-B,A) rule.  Can someone clarify?

Has anyone else made an attempt at partial derivatives here.  I can't get the above Jacobian to produce real Eigenvalues.  Any ideas?

Work area for Practice Final Exam questions

Can anyone fill in the blanks on the last problem (23) Professor Bell worked in class today? I follow up to the u(x,t) = 1/2(sin2x)(cos2t) + ...... Where did the 1/2(sin2x)(cos2t) come from?


Can someone explain the purpose of the infinite sum 1/n^2 in problem 30? I understand how to use the Parseval's identity, but that last term in the problem statement is really confusing me.
