MATH 2270 FINAL CHECKLIST
1. Overview
There will be two parts to the final, both closed book. The first
part will consist entirely of material covered subsequent to the material
covered on the last midterm. The relevant sections are 6.1-6.5. There
will be three questions in this part, and you will be asked to do two.
The second part will be comprehensive. You will be asked to do eight
of twelve questions. It is recommended that you take (roughly) half
an hour on Part I and one and a half hours on part II. However, the
division of labour is up to you.
Each question is worth five points, and so the maximum possible
score on the final is 50.
The final will take place in our usual room, B4 518. Our final is on
Monday 28 April from 0930 to 1130.
The late deadline for homework 14 is Monday 28 April 1700.
2. What to bring
You will need a writing implement of some kind. Paper will be
provided.
3. What not to bring
The exam is closed book and calculators are not allowed.
4. Topics List
•All Topics from the midterms.
•Definition of the Laplace transform. Note that computing a
Laplace transform involves an improper integral. Unless instructed
otherwise, you will compute said integrals in terms of limits.
•Compute Laplace transforms. To this end, you will need to be able
to use table 6.2.1 on page 319. I will provide you with a copy of the
table, or at least a subsection of it. However, you should be able to
derive all the identities on table 6.2.1 except number 16 which we will
not use in any case. If the gamma function is involved, I will remind
you of the definition of the gamma function.
•Solve initial value problems using the Laplace and inverse Laplace
transforms. I am particularly interested in the situation where the
