BEd 17-18 Math Assignments Overview

This document contains two assignments with multiple questions about differential equations, gamma functions, Fourier series, Laplace transforms, and eigenvalues/eigenvectors. Specifically: 1) Assignment 1 contains questions about finding the general solution to an exact differential equation, properties of the gamma function, solving another differential equation, and determining the type and stability of a critical point. 2) Assignment 2 contains questions about finding the Fourier series of a piecewise function, using Euler's method to solve a differential equation, taking the Laplace transform of various functions, and solving another differential equation.
