Math 671 Asymptotic Methods

Note

Archived course page. I taught this course in Fall 2023. Links to Canvas only work for students who were enrolled.

Course Info

Almost everything is on the course Canvas page.

Why do I have this webpage then?

Because Canvas is not very good at typesetting long stretches of math, like this equation that may have a boundary layer

\[ \begin{gathered} \epsilon y''(x) + y' + e^{-y} = 0, \\, 0< x< 1 \\\\ y(0)=1, \\, y(1) = -1, \end{gathered} \]

and at highlighting code, like this Fibonacci sequence calculation in MATLAB

% Good code has comments
n = 5;
a = zeros(1,n);
a(1:2) = 1;
for k = 3:n
   a(k) = a(k-1) + a(k-2);
end
plot(1:n,a)

and sometimes I like to share math and computer code with my classes.
