Math 391 Lecture 17 - Conclusion of higher order equations and Series Solutions to linear ODEs

Показать описание
We had technical difficulties today :( apparently, the first 5 to 10 minutes of the lecture wasn't recorded. I believe all the worked out examples I did were caught for a short time on camera though.

Anyway, in this lecture we looked over a couple more techniques for solving higher order differential equations (third order or higher), and then moved on to series solutions for second order linear equations (SOLDEs).

We went over some basic concepts and properties of series for most of the remaining lecture. As we had some time left over, I rushed through an example of solving a simple SOLDE via series.

The idea: assume the solution to an ODE takes on the form of a power series. Find the necessary derivatives through term-by-term differentiation, plug into the ODE and obtain a recurrence relation for determining the coefficients of your power series. There are some subtle techniques needed to pull this off, and our short review of series gave us the tools and know how to do this. More examples to come in the next lecture.

The explanation about shifting indexes cleared that up perfectly for me, thanks so much!!

Looking forward to going over the next couple of videos for series solutions to ODE’s. You helped me get an A on my first exam. I appreciate you, bro.

Skip ahead to 8:17 for series solutions

Been looking for good concise lectures on Series Solutions to ODE's, best resource on YouTube for a full comprehensive look at Differential Equations.

How do you know what the center of the series is? will it always be noted if it isn't centered at zero? By the way, thanks so much for these videos! I go to CCNY and while my professor is great, I'm glad you have these available

@ 33:40 shouldn't the series be (X-X0)^ n-1?
