Closed book examination. Time 2.5 hours. There are five questions worth a total of 100 marks. No notes allowed. Non-programming calculator is not needed (but is allowed). One self-made formula sheet can be used. In all questions, you must show work — i.e. display intermediate results — to get full credit. You may use one letter sized formula sheet and a calculator. Be neat! I will not attempt to decipher messy calculations.

Problem 3. Consider a bar of length 1 whose left end is kept at zero degrees and whose right end is insulated, with some initial heat distribution f (x). State the initial-boundary value problem appropriate for this situation. Find the temperature distribution in the bar at any time t. (Take c^2 = 1.)

Problem 4. Solve the initial boundary value for the wave equation utt = c^2 uxx, 0 < x < 1, t > 0 with boundary conditions u(0, t) = u(1, t) = 0 and initial conditions u(x, 0) = f (x), ut(x, 0) = g(x), where
f (x) = 2 sin 2πx + 3 sin 3πx, g(x) = sin πx.

Problem 6. Solve the vibrating problem for circular membrane of radius 1 with c = 1, clamped along its circumference for the given initial data
u(r, θ, 0) = J 3 (α 32 r) sin 3θ, ut(r, θ, 0) = 0,
where α 32 is the second positive zero of function J 3.
