Update (5/2/10): I have noticed a couple of bugs in the MI's list of consultation sessions regarding what is being covered in which session. The correct information is here.

Minor Typo in Solution to Problem 7.6

Becky Shipley points out: "There is a minor typo in the solution to qu 6 from sheet 7- at the top of page 3 the initial condition should be y(0)=1 (not y(0)=0) to get C_2 and hence eqn (6)."

I don't have the latex file for that solution (just the .pdf), so I am announcing the correction here rather than updating the file.

Minor Correction to Lecture Notes

I made a slight correction to the printed lecture notes in the nonlinear oscillator discussion from today. As I mentioned today in lecture, what I wrote on the board is correct, but I had forgotten to change it in the lectures notes when I was making my compiled corrections in September.

Welcome to Perturbation Methods (Fall 2009)

The lectures will be held on Mondays and Thursdays from 12:00--1:00 pm in L2 in the MI.

There are 6 classes, which are configured as follows:

Wednesday: 11:00 am - 12:00 pm, LR1 in the MI, Tutor: Rebecca Shipley, TA: Thomas Woolley

Wednesday: 12:30 - 1:30 pm, LR1 in the MI, Tutor: Rebecca Shipley, TA: Thomas Woolley

Wednesday: 2:00 - 3:00 pm, SR2 in the MI (except for week 6, when it will be in DHSR1), Tutor: Cameron Hall, TA: Jean-Charles Seguis

Wednesday: 3:00 - 4:00 pm, SR2 in the MI (except for week 6, when it will be in DHSR1), Tutor: Cameron Hall, TA: Jean-Charles Seguis

Friday: 12:00 - 1:00 pm, DHSR3, Tutor: Phil Trinh, TA: Cara Morgan

Friday: 1:00 - 2:00 pm, DHSR3, Tutor: Phil Trinh, TA: Cara Morgan


The lecture notes and 7 problem sheets have all been posted. Problem sheet N will be due on Monday (1:00 pm) of Week N + 1 for the Wednesday classes and on Wednesday (10:00 am) of Week N + 1 for the Friday classes. Make sure to place your sheets in the proper pigeonholes, which will magically appear at some point in the basement of the Mathematical Institute.

8 May consultation session in MI (SR2)

Tomorrow's consultation session is still at 3pm, but we have changed rooms. We will be in SR2 in the MI.

Consultation Sessions

I will be running three consultation sessions for C6.3a:

They will start on Friday at 3pm during weeks 1--3. The first two will last one hour and will take place in my office (DH 2). The one during third week will last from 3pm--5pm and will take place in L1 in the main building. This third consultation session will be a 'revision lecture' to cover the problems and solutions from the June 2008 exam. Note that I lectured this course last year, so I wrote the 4 questions in last year's exam. (The ones from 2007 and before were written by other people.)
