Always Wanted To Schedule

 * Topic

cooking
 * Research Component

Im going to do my project on a meal, i want to create a whole dinner for the first time by myself. Im going to have my sister give me some basics on cooking. In high school i took a cooking class so i thought it would be kinda cool to use my learning techniques to make a meal.
 * week 1

im going to research wht makes a good meal and how you can balance out the foods to make them better
 * week 2

try to find different foods that will go good with my meal. I was thinking mashed potatoes, greens, yams, turkey, and maybe macironni and cheese.
 * week 3

im going to look for traditional reciepes thats will go good for making the food.
 * week 4

write the receipes down and overlook them twice.
 * week 5

start getting everything together for the meal.
 * week 6

prepare for the mel by checking the receipes and making sure that i have everything ready for next week when i make it.
 * week 7

im going to make the meal and have my family try it out and see if its good or not.
 * week 8

going to present my project on what i made

Midterm Assignment 2: Manipulation
I decided to do the Seattle Cloud Cover bridge for my evaluation. It caught my eye becasue of how much color was in the art work itself. "I want you to feel like you are moving through a landscape painting or movie rather than within the landscape itself, blurring the lines between your presence as participant and observer", is what Teresita Fernández on the reveiw of his artwork. When i read this reveiw of this artwork it kind of had me thinking about what he was really trying to get you to do, its almost like he wants you to look through the obvious and see what he really wants you to think about his painting. The first time i swaw it i was confused and even going back the second time i still was. This painting didnt make me change about how i felt about the first time or the second time. My toughts stayed the same, i still think this painting is confusing and i dont like it.

Homework Assignment #4 - due Wednesday, 10/21, 21:00 UTC

Problem 1
p.19-1 For the Legendre equation 1 on p.14-2 with $$n=0$$, the homogeneous solution $$u_1(x)=1$$. Use reduction of order method 2 (undetermined factor) to find $$u_2(x)$$, the second homogeneous solution.

Problem Statement: Given the Legendra differential equation $$(1-x^2)y''-2xy'+n(n+1)y=0$$ with $$n=0$$ and given the homogeneous solution $$u_1(x)=1$$. use the reduction of order method 2 (undetermined factor) to find $$u_2(x)$$, the second homgeneous solution.

$$(1-x^2)y''-2xy'+n(n+1)y=0\ at\ n=0\ yields,$$

$$(1-x^2)y''-2xy'=0$$

From the form $$y''+a_1y'+a_0y=0$$

$$a_1(x)=-{2x\over 1-x^2}$$

The homogeneous solution is represented by:

$$y_H(x)=k_1u_1(x)+k_2u_2(x)$$

The full homogeneous solution is assumed to be:

$$y(x)=U(x)u_1(x)\ where\ U\ is\ unknown.$$

 * $$y'=Uu'_1+U'u_1$$ multiply by $$a_1(x)$$

 * $$y=Uu_1+2U'u'_1+U''u_1$$ multiply by $$a_2(x)=1$$

Adding yields: $$a_1y'+y=U[a_1u'_1+u_1]+U'[a_1u_1+2u'_1]+U''u_1$$

Since $$u_1$$ is a homogeneous solution $$[a_1u'_1+u_1]=0$$ and $$a_1y'+y=0$$ we get:

$$U'[a_1u_1+2u'_1]+U''u_1=0$$

Let $$Z=U'$$

$$Z[a_1u_1+2u'_1]+Z'u_1=0$$, solve for Z by direct integration.

$${Z'\over Z}+(a_1+{2u'_1\over u_1})=0$$, solve for Z by direct integration.

$$Z(x)={e^k\over (u_1)^2}exp[-\int_{}^ta_1(s)ds]$$

$$U(x)=\int_{}^x{e^k\over (u_1(t))^2}exp[-\int_{}^ta_1(s)ds]dt+k_1$$

 * $$\int_{}^ta_1(s)ds=\int_{}^t-{2s\over (1-s^2)}ds=ln(1-t^2)$$

$$y_H(x)=k_1u_1(x)+k_2u_2(x)=U(x)u_1(x)=e^ku_1\int_{}^x{1\over (u_1(t))^2}exp[-ln(1-t^2)]dt+k_1u_1(x)$$

Solve for $$u_2(x)$$

$$u_2(x)=u_1\int_{}^x{1\over (u_1(t))^2}exp[-ln(1-t^2)]dt=x\int_{}^x{1\over (x)^2}exp[-ln(1-t^2)]dt=x\int_{}^x{dt\over (x)^2(1-t^2)}$$

$$u_2(x)={x\over 2}ln\bigg({1+x\over 1-x}\bigg)-1$$

Problem 2
King et al., p.28, problem 1.1.b

Problem Statement: Show that the function $$u_1=x^{-1}sinx$$ is a solution of the differential equation $$ xy''+2y'+xy=0$$. Use the reduction of order method to find the second independent solution $$u_2$$.

Arrange the differential equation into the form $$y''+a_1y'+a_0y=0$$

$$y''+{2\over x}y'+y=0$$

$$a_1(x)=2/x$$

$$\int_{}^ta_1(s)ds=\int_{}^t{2\over s}ds=2ln(t)$$

$$u_2(x)=u_1(x)\int_{}^x{1\over u^2_1(t)}exp\bigg[-\int_{}^ta_1(s)ds\bigg]dt$$ [King Eq.(1.3)p.6]

$$u_2(x)={sinx\over x}\int_{}^x{1\over {sin^2t\over t^2}}exp[-2ln(t)]dt={sinx\over x}\int_{}^x{t^2\over sin^2t}exp[-2ln(t)]dt$$

 $$u_2(x)=\Bigg({sinx\over x}\Bigg)\Bigg({x^3\over 3}\Bigg)\Bigg({1\over {1\over 2}x-{1\over 4}sin2x}\Bigg)exp[-2ln(x)]$$

Problem 3
King et al., p.28, problem 1.3 b

$$ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + 4y = 2{\sec{2x}} $$

- Homogeneous Solution

$$ y'' + 4y = 0 $$ char.eg

$$ r^2 +4 = 0 $$

$$ r= +2i, -2i $$

$$ y_{H}= C_{1}{\cos{2x}} + C_{2}{\sin{2x}} $$

- Particular Solution by using Variation of Paramaters

$$ {\cos(2x)}C'_{1} + {\sin(2x)}C'_{2} = 0 $$

$$ -2{\sin(2x)}C'_{1} + 2{\cos(2x)}C'_{2} = 2{\sec(2x)} $$

$$ C'_{1} = -tan(2x) $$ $$ C'_{2} = 1 $$

$$ \int C'_{1} = -\int {tan(2x)} = 2ln{\cos(2x)} = ln{cos^2(2x)} $$

$$ \int C'_{2} = \int 1 = x $$

$$ y_{Gen} = y_{H} + y_{P} $$

$$ Y_{Gen} = C_{1}{\cos(2x)} + C_{2}{\sin(2x)} + ln{\cos(2x)} + x{\sin(2x)} $$

Problem 4
King et al., p.28, problem 1.3 c

$$ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + \frac{1}{x}\frac{dy}{dx} +( 1- \frac{1}{4x^2})y = x $$

- Find General Solution

- Homogeneous Solution

$$ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + \frac{1}{x}\frac{dy}{dx} +( 1- \frac{1}{4x^2})y = 0 $$

refer to king et al p11 -p14

$$ y_{H}= C_{1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}} + C_{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}} $$

- Find Particular Solution by variations of paramaters

$$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}}C'_{1} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}}C'_{2} = 0 $$

$$ (x^{-\frac{3}{2}}{\cos{x}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}})C'_{1} + (x^{-\frac{3}{2}}{\sin{x}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}})C'_{2} = x $$

$$ W= \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}}(x^{-\frac{3}{2}}{\sin{x}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}}) - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}}(x^{-\frac{3}{2}}{\cos{x}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}})= \frac{1}{x} $$

$$ C'_{1} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}} $$

$$ C'_{2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}} $$

$$ \int C'_{1} = -\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}} $$

$$ u= \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} ,u'= -\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{3}{2}}, v'= {\sin{x}}   , v= -{\cos{x}}  $$

$$ C'_{1} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}} + \frac{1}{2} \int x^{-\frac{3}{2}}{\cos{x}} $$

$$ \int C'_{2} = \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}} $$

$$ u= \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}  ,u'= -\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{3}{2}}  ,v'= {\cos{x}}  ,v={\sin{x}}   $$

$$ C'_{2}= \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}} + \frac{1}{2} \int x^{-\frac{3}{2}}{\sin{x}} $$

$$ y_{H}= C_{1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}} + C_{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}} $$

$$ y_{P}= \frac{1}{2} \int x^{-\frac{3}{2}}{\cos{x}}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}}) + \frac{1}{2} \int x^{-\frac{3}{2}}{\sin{x}}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}}) $$

$$ y_{Gen}= C_{1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}} + C_{2}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}} + \frac{1}{2} \int x^{-\frac{3}{2}}{\cos{x}}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\cos{x}}) + \frac{1}{2} \int x^{-\frac{3}{2}}{\sin(x)}(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}{\sin{x}}) $$

Problem 5
Problem statement: King et al., p.28, problem 1.1 b, reference p.22-2 from class notes.
 * $$xy''+2y'+xy=0 \!$$
 * $$u_1(x)=\frac{\sin(x)}{x}$$

 * 1) Verify if the equation is exact
 * 2) Is it possible to use the integrating factor method?
 * 3) Attempt the following trial solutions (r=const)
 * 4) $$y(x)=e^{rx} \!$$
 * 5) $$y(x)=xe^{rx} \!$$
 * 6) $$y(x)=\frac{1}{x}e^{rx} \!$$
 * 7) Use the undetermined factor method on the correct trial solution to obtain a second trial solution. Compare to the provided $$u_1(x) \!$$

There are two conditions to verify exactness. Condition 1: can we re-write the equation as $$f(x,y,p)y'' +g(x,y,p) \!$$, where $$p=y' \!$$ and indeed we can,
 * $$f=x \!$$
 * $$g=2p+xy \!$$

Condition 2: do the following relations hold,
 * $$f_{xx}+2pf_{xy}+p^2f_{yy}=g_{xp}+pg_{yp}-g_y\!$$
 * $$f_{xp}+pf_{yp}+2f_y=g_{pp} \!$$

The terms of the first equation are,
 * $$f_{xx}=0 \!$$, $$f_{xy}=0 \!$$, $$f_{yy}=0 \!$$
 * $$g_{xp}=0 \!$$, $$g_{yp}=0 \!$$, $$g_{y}=x \!$$

 which leads to $$0=-x \!$$, therefore the equation is not exact.

To use the integrating factor method the equation must be made exact. Multiplying the differential equation by $$x^my^n \!$$ and solving for the $$m \!$$ and $$n \!$$ that make the equation exact, will allow the integrating factor method to be used.

The second equation has terms with the partial with respect to $$p \!$$ taken. Therefore, even before applying $$x^my^n \!$$ we know $$f_{xp}=f_{yp}=g_{pp}=0 \!$$. Then $$f_{y}=x^{m+1}ny^{n-1} \!$$, so
 * $$2x^{m+1}ny^{n-1}=0 \!$$

Therefore, $$n=0 \!$$, simplifying the problem. Now, $$f_{xy}=f_{yy}=g_{yp}=g_y=0 \!$$. Using $$f_{xx}=m(m+1)x^{m-1} \!$$ and $$g_{xp}=2mx^{x-1} \!$$ yields,
 * $$m(m+1)x^{m-1} = 2mx^{m-1} \!$$

 Therefore, $$m=1 \!$$. So,
 * $$x^2y''+2xy+x^2y=0 \!$$ is exact and the integrating factor method can be used.

Instead we will attempt trial solutions. First try,
 * $$y=e^{rx} \!$$, $$y'=re^{rx} \!$$, $$y''=r^2e^{rx} \!$$

Plugging into the equation yields,
 * $$xr^2+2+x=0 \!$$

This cannot be factored to find a constant solution for $$r \!$$. Therefore this is not a solution. Second try,
 * $$y=xe^{rx} \!$$, $$y'=e^{rx}+xre^{rx} \!$$, $$y''=2re^{rx}+xr^2e^{rx} \!$$

Plugging into the equation yields,
 * $$x^2r^2+4xr+2+x^2 \!$$

This also cannot be factored to find a constant solution for $$r \!$$. This is not a solution. Third try,
 * $$y=\frac{1}{x}e^{rx} \!$$, $$y'=-\frac{1}{x^2}e^{rx}+\frac{1}{x}re^{rx} \!$$, $$2\frac{1}{x^3}e^{rx}-2\frac{1}{x^2}re^{rx}+\frac{1}{x}r^2e^{rx} \!$$

Plugging into the equation yields,
 * $$r^2+1=0 \!$$

 This yields the solutions, $$r=+/-\sqrt{-1}=+/-i \!$$. Taking the positive solution we get,
 * $$u_1(x)=\frac{e^{ix}}{x} \!$$

Using the undetermined factor method to find $$u_2(x) \!$$ proceeds by assuming,
 * $$y(x)=U(x)u_1(x) \!$$

Rearranging the differential equation we get,
 * $$y+\frac{2}{x}y'+y=y+a_1y'+a_0y=0 \!$$

Plugging in $$y(x) \!$$ we get,
 * $$a_0y+a_1y'+y=U[a_0u_1+a_1u_1'+u_1]+U'[a_1u_1+2u_1']+U''u_1 \!$$

Or
 * $$U'(a_1u_1+2u_1')+U''u_1=0 \!$$

The result is reduced order therefore we can substitute $$Z=U' \!$$,
 * $$u_1Z'+(a_1u_1+2u_1')Z=0 \!$$

Now we can directly integrate and we get,
 * $$Z=c\frac{1}{u_1^2}e^{-\int^{x}a_1(s)\,ds} \!$$

and
 * $$U=c\int^{x}\frac{1}{u_1(t)^2}e^{-\int^{t}a_1(s)\,ds}\,dt+c_2$$

Plugging $$U \!$$ into $$y(x)=Uu_1 \!$$ we find that
 * $$u_2=u_1\int^{x}\frac{1}{u_1(t)^2}e^{-\int^{t}a_1(s)\,ds}\,dt \!$$

Using $$a_1(x)=\frac{2}{x} \!$$ and $$u_1(x)=\frac{e^{ix}}{x} \!$$ we find that,

 * $$u_2(x)=\frac{e^{-ix}}{-2ix} \!$$

Comparing to the original solution, $$u_1(x)=\frac{\sin{x}}{x} \!$$ we find that there are similarities. That is because,
 * $$\sin{x}=\frac{e^{ix}-e^{-ix}}{2i} \!$$.

Problem 6
Problem Statement: Describe in words step-by-step method of attacking linear, second-order, differential equations with varying coefficients (L2_ODE_VC). Reference p.22-3 from class notes.

 * 1) Try reduction of order method 0 (missing in dependent variable). This makes the problem a 1st order ODE.
 * 2) Attempt to solve by direct integration (works for homogeneous solutions)
 * 3) Else if exact, use integrating factor method
 * 4) Else, make exact by using the Euler integrating factor
 * 5) Try reduction of order method 1 (finding the first integral $$\phi$$)
 * 6) If exact this will lead to a 1st order ODE and now you can use the methods from step 1
 * 7) Else, make exact by using the Euler integrating factor
 * 8) If the equation is homogenous
 * 9) See if it follows the Euler equation $$\textstyle \sum_{i=0}^N a_ix^iy^{(i)}$$
 * 10) Try transfer of variables
 * 11) Or undetermined coefficient (trial solution)
 * 12) If one homogenous solution is obtained, use reduction of order method 2 (undetermined factor) to obtain the second solution
 * 13) Use both homogenous solutions with variation of parameters to obtain the full solution
 * 14) If non-homogeneous and one homogeneous solution is obtained, use the undetermined factor method to obtain the entire solution all at once
 * 15) If all else fails you may attempt as many trial solutions as you desire (works for both homogeneous and non-homogeneous equations)

Problem 7
King et al., p.28, problem 1.1 ab, reference p.23-1 from class notes for details

Problem Statement: Find the second independent solution $$u_2$$ using (from Lecture 23-1): (1) Variation of parameters (after knowing $$u_1$$ and $$u_2$$; and (2)an Alternative Method as discussed in Lecture 21-2 and 21-3.

(a) $$u_1=e^x$$, $$(x-1)y''-xy'+y=x$$ (b) $$u_1=(1/x)(\sin x)$$, $$xy''+2y'+xy=x$$

Starting with Part 2 (the Alternative Method), as Part 1 requires knowing both $$u_1$$ and $$u_2$$: (a)$$y(x)=U(x)u(x)$$ assuming a full (including $$u_2$$ homogeneous solution. Taking the 1st and 2nd derivative, combining like terms and eliminating all $$u_1$$ related terms: $$0=U'(a_1u_1+2u_1')+U''u_1$$   which is missing a U variable.  Substituing Z for U' and solving for Z:

$$Z=\int_{}^{} exp (-x(1-x))\, dx = \int_{}^{}U', dx$$ $$u_2=u_1(U)=(e^x)(-exp(-x(1-x)) = -exp(x-1)$$

Part 1: $$y=c_1(x)u_1(x)+c_2(x)u_2(x)$$;  $$u_1(c_1)'+u_2(c_2)'=0$$;     $$(u_1)'(c_1)'+(u_2)'(c_2)'=f$$ $$(c_1)'=-(f u_2)/W$$ and $$(c_2)'=(f u_1)/W$$ where $$W=u_1u_2' - u_2u_1'$$

The particular integral is then: $$y(x)=\int_{}^{x}f(s){\frac{u_1(s)u_2(x)-u_1(x)u_2(s)}{W(s)}}, ds$$ where $$u_1(x)=e^x$$, $$u_2(x)=(e^x)(-exp(-x(1-x))$$, $$W(s)=(1-x)(exp(2x-1))$$ Solving for $$y_p(x)=\frac{2x}{1-x}$$ and therefore the full solution is: $$y(x)=y_h + y_p = e^x - exp(x-1) - \frac{2x}{x-1}$$

(b) $$u_1=(1/x)(\sin x)$$, $$xy''+2y'+xy=x$$ Again, starting with Part 2 and following the same steps as in (a) creates $$0=U'(a_1u_1+2u_1')+U''u_1$$  which is missing a U variable. Substituing Z for U' and solving for Z: $$\frac{Z'}{Z}+(1+\frac{u_1'}{u_1})=0$$ $$U=(-1 +\csc^2 (x)(exp(cot x))$$ $$u_2 = U (u_1) = \frac{(exp(\cot x) - 1}{x\sin x}$$

Part1: As in (a), we find $$W=u_1u_2' - u_2u_1'$$ and  the particular integral is then: $$y(x)=\int_{}^{x}f(s){\frac{u_1(s)u_2(x)-u_1(x)u_2(s)}{W(s)}}, ds$$ where $$u_1(x)=\frac{\sin x}{x}$$, $$u_2(x)=\frac{(exp(\cot x) - 1}{x\sin x}$$, $$W(s)=1$$ Solving for $$y_p(x)=(\frac{1}{x}-1)(exp(\cot x))$$ and therefore the full solution is: $$y(x)=y_h + y_p = \frac{\sin x}{x} + \frac{(exp(\cot x) - 1}{x\sin x} + (\frac{1}{x}-1)(exp(\cot x))$$

== Self-Assessment ==

"What did I learn in this class, and what do I have left to learn?"

This class I learned many things that I didn't expect to learn at all. I really liked learning more about different public artist. I really liked learning about Andy Goldsworthy. His natural art is really interesting. It shows that in art it is much more than just talent, you also have to have patience as well. I also enjoyed and was amazing by the art pice by Christo and Jeanne Claude. I never knew there was ever such a huge pubic art project on that scale.

The art walk was very fun. I saw so many things that I pass by every day and never think about. But on this art walk I saw that the public art pieces that I pass by every day have such a in depth story behind them. Also on the art walk it was so cool to find all of these awesome art pieces that I never knew existed. It was a great walk to see really what was public and what was not even though it at first may seem public. For example Sam Francis untitled canvas if you drive by oh yeah that is public art we all can see it. But what if you want to go right up to it and look a every paint drop on the canvas. You can't really. When my friend Josh and I went to go look at it. Every step week took we watched by the eyes of the security guard. And when I went to go take a picture of it with my phone he say you can not do that. But could I take a picture of it outside? Most likely yes.

I also liked the collage section of the class. I wished we could of spent more time on the copy write subject and had some more open discussions about it. I really like the video on the amen break beat very interesting story behind it.

"What did I do well in this class, and what could I have done better?"

I fell that I did really well in this class. The main thing is that I showed up every day and actually showed interest in the topic that we were discussing. I also actually really wanted to go on both art walks. I wanted to learn more about the art community in Seattle. It is very interesting to see what is going on in our town. It is so easy to get stuck in our little boxes and very venture out to see what else is going on. Even if we really don't have any interest in public art or even private art. I alway love to learn new cool things. Also it was really awesome to see how the art community worked in Seattle. My girlfriend Ashley is a art major at PLU and I learned alot of things that she would like to know too. I also had a great time researching my midterm on Paying for Change. And I had a great time putting together my public art pice. The computer christmas light display, would be amazed at how may people love the lights every year and I also still wonder about all the people that drive by and what they think of the lights. The main thing that made me do well in the class is just have fun and have fun learning about new things.

 "How do I feel prepared, or unprepared, to continue my studies at this point?"

I do feel prepared to continue my studies. If you mean in terms of the humanities 2 class I am totally ready for it. As for all my other studies yes I am ready. I fell more confident every quarter. The summer quarter was very intense I had portfolio for my AA in audio production. It was a really hard quarter and I work very very hard at it. And all that hard work payed off. I got best portfolio and even more important than that I learned so much and I felt so much more confident at audio. And I was like bring it on. And I though that next quarter was not going to be hard at all because it was the first ever quarter for the BA degree in Audio. But it proved to be pretty intense. First off I had to take a film production class were I got my first taste of what it was like to work with others in a production and I had to do all the audio for the commercial that we were doing. I though that was the big project for the quarter but no I got to be in something much bigger!! I got asked to help to do the final mix of a feature film!! We had to do our first mix in just three day and I was in charged of SFX. Those three day were intense I was at school for 44+ in just three days. We got it done and now we are working on the next mix for SIFF. Hopefully you will see it out on video soon. We will see what happens. I am just so thankful to be a part of it. I have learned so much and we are not even done yet. The quarters get more crazy every quarter. And I love it I am learning so much and I want to be the best that I can be in what I love to do.

How did I contribute to the experiences of other students in this class?"

I help with showing first my public art pice. It was cool to show that any thing can be art, even christmas lights. I also help by going on the art walks with Josh we had a great time and found so many awesome places in down town that we never knew were there. That goes for public art and awesome places to eat as well. I also did ask question and was involved in some of the discussion in class. And last the most important one one of all I really showed that I wanted to learn and show that I was interested in the topics that we were learning. Alot comes from how others act around you.

Personal Essay
Our modern society is definitely oversaturated with advertisements. The toughest thing to realize is how our youths' minds have been hijacked and completely mesmerized with the pointless addiction of consumerism. Critical thinking within our communities has sunk to medieval lows. Children with developing self images are vulnerable to the glamour of corporate messages. The cycle repeats itself as the victims use shopping for trinkets to escape from the horrors of everyday life, most of which can be traced back to the original sin of faux empowerment from retail therapy. So, as the planet sinks deeper into the suicidal abyss of chaos, the survivors are left clinging to the last vestiges of control within their rapidly shrinking worlds. Those of us fortunate enough to be American have become so disconnected from the realities of slave labor, either through corrupt government policies or an increasingly exploited prison population; that we are ignorant of the impact our plastic world has on the physical health of the environment and the psychological damage to our collective human psyche. One of Newton's laws states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The same truth can be said of mindless consumerism, so for every perfect postcard Thanksgiving celebration, there is also the tragic scene of another bulldozed Paklestinian home. For every cup of coffee we may purchase at Starbucks, a percentage of the profits are donated to a private lobby in Washington DC which goes to Israel, which is then spent either on bullets, missiles, jets, or tanks. Then, those items are built by American labor from American defense contractors, and the wages are even taxed, so the vacuum continues into infinity. The most important impact comes from the lack of parenting pervasive in our nation. It is no surprise since that generation of parents was also raised with the same corrosive values from corporate media. People are so consumed with their own individual identities that they often forget to actually supervise and guide these future citizens. Adults with even the slightest inkling of what has been taking place outside our borders, are quick to self medicate and deny the truth. This ignorance is celebrated now, so the dumbest people are looked upon as cool. The more self absorbed and self destructive you become, the more doors fly open. Meanwhile, any rational minded person who speaks aloud, becomes discouraged and ostracized.

Self Assessment
I feel like I have learned alot in this course. The group project helped me to grow the most. The instructor is very knowledgeable and helpful. I found out some interesting information about issues I did not know alot about previously. The online coursework has prepared me for the business world. The lectures provided me with enough hands on experience to give me confidence in the job market.

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
My first impression of the park in general wasn't a very good one. It was fairly small, didn't have many art pieces and seemed very plain. That being said, the art pieces that were there I must admit were fairly interesting. As soon as I walked in though, I spotted a piece with no title made by an artist I had never heard of that at first just looked like a regular bench. I didn't even know that this thing was considered to be a piece of artwork. As I was walking around I knew I would not find anything better to hate, ever but just to make sure I gave it a second look. Yep, I was right. I left the park thinking that I could never acknowledge that bench/box/chair as a piece of artwork. When I came home I did a little research on the artist, didn't find much but I found a picture of the artwork and it actually appealed to me. I don't know if it was picture but it made me look at it different, gave me a different perspective of it and now I actually like it.

Midterm Assignment 3: Always Wanted To Progress Report (100 words or so)
Being the first time I've done a concert mostly on my own it's been harder than I thought. As of now I don't really have a lot of material I could perform due to troubles with artists to record new material to perform. The concert is definitely going to happen but I'm a little less prepared than I hoped for, and it's only a week and a few days away. Also the research part I've been slacking on. I'm not really sure what to research which is going to get me into a little trouble when presentation time comes around.

Personal Essay
Where’s the money going to come from? How much debt will I end up in? How will I ever pay it back? These were several questions that ran through my mind as I was trying to decide on going back to school. I was lucky when it came to going to college the first time around. I had money saved up for a years worth of school so I did not need to take out loans with high interest rates. Unfortunately I was not so lucky when it came to attending the Art Institute of Seattle.

The price of attending the Art Institute of Seattle is a much higher price then that of a public, government funded university. I feel the reason for this is we are buying the name. We want our future employers to see that name on our degrees. We expect our future careers to be lavish and pay back the years of debt we have just acquired, But is our education we receive worth the large amount of debt we have built?

At the Art Institute we have state of the art equipment, some of which I will never use. Each culinary kitchen is set up with advanced audio video equipment to demonstrate methodology, how many times have I seen these used? Not even once. We are provided fancy equipment, but what good is it if I don’t get the opportunities to use it. I understand the reasoning for having the proper equipment, but having the students pay high tuition rates in order to buy toys, which go unused, is not in the best interest for my education.

Campus parking. What’s that? At the Art Institute we struggle every day with either trying to find a place to park or where the closest bus stops are at. I jingle down the street as my pockets are full of change, whereas the Art Institute does not think twice about the change needed to provide bus passes or a lot to park our vehicles.

All in all I feel the Chefs and professors are knowledgeable in their fields and teach with reasonable understanding. I hope with the rising cost of education and the equipment required I am able to better myself and further my education.

Self Assessment
I feel I learned little in this class. I enjoyed the group projects of others but felt I learned very little in my own group. My group did not contribute to the success of the final project. I would like to see the class have a few more projects instead of one large one. I would like to write more because it is a writing class. I feel I have a lot more to learn about writing.

I feel like i contributed to class discussions a fair amount. I found some topics we discussed very interesting. I enjoyed the movie blue vinyl and it made me think more about the products we use daily.

Personal Essay
My Difficulties with Recycling

As I was growing up, I was taught to reduce, reuse, and recycle. Captain planet, sesame street, nickelodeon, my school teachers, and my parents encouraged us to do our part in “saving the planet”. My mother also learned from her Depression Era parents to always reduce, reuse, and recycle, though her parents always did it to save money. My mom made me home made shoe box/toilet paper roll Barbie sofas and reuses grocery bags and ziploc bags.

My mom and I hopped on the ecofriendly train pretty early. Before the new Whole Foods was opened in my hometown, we had already been eating mostly vegetarian, natural, and organic foods. We used canvas bags instead of collecting mountains of plastic ones. My mom started using a vinegar, water, and baking soda solution to clean instead of the synthetic chemical cleaners. (Yes, it smells terrible, but it gets the job done.)

In the parking lot of a local health/natural foods store, there was a large recycling dumpster. We collected plastic, glass, and cardboard to recycle every other week or so. It was convenient because large cardboard boxes or containers and plastic and glass bottles weren't taking unnecessary space in the trash can. We didn't have to take the trash out as often. I quickly got used to recycling. The recycling dumpster was pretty close by our house, so it was no trouble. Plus the natural foods store that it was in front of usually had tons of yummy free samples.

I assumed before I moved to Seattle that recycling would be more common. And it is to a certain extent. In this city, unlike my hometown, there are recycling bins next to most trash bins on the sidewalk. But I have had a really difficult time recycling lately. When I moved into the student housing, I was told there was a recycling dumpster in the alley way. I figured that was the norm here. My roommate and I collected recycling for months until it was spilling out of the closet. Then we would make around 3 trips to the recycling bin and back to our room to gather more. My roommate moved out but I still kept on collecting recycling to put in the bin outside. So, months went by and I finally got around to cleaning out the mountain of cardboard I had collected. I headed downstairs practically contorting my body to make sure I didn't drop anything. I walk into the alley and lo and behold the recycling bin wasn't there. I stared for quite a while at the empty abyss that had once been the great recycling bin.

This didn't seem right to me. In a liberal city like Seattle, recycling should be a piece of cake. When we had bins in the alley, they were overflowing with cardboard and plastic. So apparently I wasn't the only person using them.

I wanted to understand how there could be multiple bins packed full one day and zero the next. So I did some research. I found out that condos and apartments can get free recycling dumpsters! Free! Thats great but I was surprised. It had crossed my mind that the Art Institute may have gotten rid of the dumpster because they didn't want to pay for it anymore. But its free! I don't know why they suddenly didn't want a FREE recycling dumpster anymore. Seems like a waste to me. (Pun intended.) So, I'm going to try to find out why its gone and if it will ever come back. If the school won't get another recycling dumpster, then there's bound to be an apartment building close by that is taking advantage of this great deal. I'll just have to get someone to help me move my mountain of recycling.

Self Assessment
I'm not sure that I learned anything totally new in this class, but I think I improved my problem solving skills, and I may have gotten a little better at writing. I know, for sure, that I have gained confidence in writing. That may be because I wasn't forced to word vomit a 10 page essay about some issue that I had to fake my interest in. Those kind of papers usually end up unappealing and badly written, which lowers my confidence with writing.

I still haven't improved on speed. I am an extremely slow writer and I would love for that to change. Because then I wouldn't have any reason to procrastinate on all the papers that I will have to write as a student.

I feel like I could have contributed more during class discussions. I was present and paying attention during class but I didn't participate much. So I guess that means I didn't really contribute much to the experiences of my classmates.

I think I can write well enough now to continue my studies. Hopefully, as a costume designer, I won't need to write 10 page papers about topics I have no interest in. So, my writing skills as of now should be enough. SusyG

Critique
Tori's Paper

All in all Tori's paper was very good. She showed excellent detail in her past experience to engage to readers perspective on homelessness and whether it being a choice or not. Having the insiders view coming from a person who has actually experienced or is experiencing the homeless life-style makes the paper more interesting rather than going of facts and internet information. I find it really well put together from beginning to end with the information provided through the homeless shelter, the movie "pursuit of happiness", and the actual day to day working environment. She stayed pretty well on topic and made me realize that through some perspectives homelessness isn't a choice, it comes from all sorts of situations and predicaments varying the person or people and the way they live their life. I feel she could go into more detail on other experiences using facts outside of her own experiences that she has witnessed or been apart of just to tie into the essay a little bit more but the way she came about it was a very interesting outlook on different perspectives of being homeless and having a homeless life hit you in the face. Very well done tori! :) MadisonE

My critique of Madison East's paper

I thought your paper was very good and had excellent voice throughout. I was a little confused on the overall point. It seemed like you were saying that the homeless people didn’t choose to be homeless in the beginning and then in the body of the paper you were saying all of the reasons they do choose to be homeless… Maybe editing the intro to better say what the thesis or point of the paper is will help this. Also, from what I have heard, most homeless shelters have strict enforcement of not letting anyone under the influence of drugs or alcohol in and some actually provide over the counter medicine to those who are sick and in need. So wouldn’t this be good for the ones who don’t want to get sick and who are trying to kick bad habits?? Also, I think that the homeless people with pets might be trying to not be homeless by getting sympathy for the animal from people and getting money from them (they still aren’t allowed at shelters but I guess its about their priorities) Overall you did a really good job. Just some revising and editing of some sentences that didn’t quite flow will make it great!

Personal Essay
Homelessness By Tori Jones Analytical Writing Fall '09

I believe that being homeless is not always a choice. While there are homeless people out there that are perfectly content without a place to call home, there are others who are relentlessly trying to escape the self perpetuating cycle of homelessness. I was visiting San Francisco my freshman year of high school where we got to experience homelessness firsthand. We volunteered at several shelters, soup kitchens, and even elementary schools. While volunteering I spoke with a man who's story I will never forget. This particular man was a regular at one of the soup kitchens we were working in one morning. As a part of our mission we didn’t just serve the homeless food and then go about our day, we were told to go sit down and eat with them…get to know them…have conversations with them. This to be completely honest scared me at first. I mean, I had never really sat down with homeless person before. The man I sat down with was named Al, was dressed in a suit and tie, and looked somewhat out of place in the dingy cafeteria. I quickly learned that his story was one about a few wrong turns that led him to where he was. He was like any other married middle class guy but after his divorce things slowly started to spiral. The divorce led to a move, which led to lots of expenses (on top of the divorce expenses). He eventually sold his car to deal with financial difficulty. Having no vehicle led to challenges getting to work which eventually made him lose his job. Without a job, car, spouse, or any extra money he quickly realized he was in over his head and wasn’t going to get out of this hole any time soon. Although he was homeless, he still maintained his pride. If I didn’t sit down with him and hear his story I would’ve never guessed that he didn’t have any place to live. He was the fist person that made me realize that homelessness isn’t always a choice.

Al's story was very similar to the one in the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, which is based on the true story of a stock broker named Chris Gardner. He is left homeless after his family becomes financially broken and his wife leaves him and their son. He demonstrates an incredible amount of pride and works extremely hard to get himself and his son out of this situation. He uses all of his resources including homeless shelters and recieves an offer for a competitive internship at a financial company. No one at his job or at his sons daycare would have ever guessed that they were sleeping at shelters. This story demonstrates one man's persistance in getting out of a terrible situation that life unexpectedely delt him.

Another place where I can observe the homeless on a daily basis is my work. I work at the Nordstrom E-bar in downtown Seattle. This area is a popular one for the homeless crowd and they come into the store often. We have some regular customers that are homeless and dirty but we know that they are harmless. One of them is a man who shines shoes on the corner and sometimes uses his earnings to purchase a drip coffee or a cup of tea. Some of the others will just come in and ask us for some hot water and sit down for a few minutes. It’s other homeless people who give these harmless ones a bad name though. There is another man who also shines shoes a block down from the man I mentioned earlier, but instead of buying a coffee, he enjoys stealing mugs and chocolates from our retail displays. We are then forced to call security and either have them arrested (if they are caught on tape) or banned from the store. On one hand, it is heartbreaking that some people are at the point that they need to steal in order to eat; on the other hand it is hard to show them sympathy when there are so many other homeless victims who are honestly working hard to acheive a better life. Others will come in clearly intoxicated and badger our other customers for spare change, which also leads to us having them removed. The question is, how do you tell which ones are simply down on their luck and which ones obviously are contributing to there own awful situation?

I spoke with a volunteer for a homeless shelter in Pioneer Square and her words made me feel a little bit better. “I volunteer at a shelter that doesn’t discriminate. Some shelters turn away drunk and intoxicated people but we don’t have any of those rules. Anyone can come in and get a free meal. After working here I don’t feel as sad that I can’t give more money and food to the homeless people I see on the street because now I know that no matter how bad off they are, they do have a place to go get some food.” -Jennica Cassidy

I believe that it is important for us to understand where the homeless population is coming from and to experience it in some way firsthand, whether it be serving at a soup kitchen or simply talking to that guy selling Real Change on the corner for five minutes. Some people get themselves into it, but others have stories that could happen to anyone, especially in a time like now when so much of our population is living paycheck to paycheck and with little to no savings. We can’t judge the homeless as one whole group. They are individuals with individual stories just like those of us who have a warm bed to sleep in at night. Some are okay with their lifestyle. Others did not choose to be without a home and are desperately working hard to have one again.

Self Assessment
I do agree with past students when they say the this was the least amount of writing that they have done in a writing class. However, I feel like I learned alot more about other things and issues in this class. I learned to work in a group in a different way than in any other class I have taken. I have never had to write a paper as a group before and it taught me alot about communication and responsibility. I also really liked that we had choices of what to write about for our personal essays. I think I did well in the group stepping up and organizing things and who should take on what, I think I could have communicated on wikki better though. Some people in class complained about having to write our short fiction story in class but I really enjoyed it. I wish that we would have done a little more in class writing. Most of all, I enjoyed the in class discussion of the group topics as well as topics going on in the news, etc. I learned alot from the professor and my classmates. My one critique of the class would be to make the group project a little shorter and add another personal essay.

Biblical Hebrew Lessons

This series is designed to help people who have already begun to master the Hebrew letters and vowels, to begin to learn the essential vocabulary found in the Hebrew Bible (the Tenach) and the Torah (the Pentateuch or the Five Books of Moses), also known in English speaking countries as the Old Testament. Since the books of the Hebrew Bible were written over several hundred years, by different people, several locales and in several dialects of Hebrew and Aramaic, these lessons will focus on the core language words.

The lessons will be approached from a scholarly, middle of the road point of view, avoiding as much as possible, contentious religious interpretation.

The books were used as source documents for information:

Baltsan, Hayim. Webster's New World Hebrew Dictionary. Wiley Publishing, 1992. ISBN 0-671-88991-5.

Bolozky, Shmuel. 501 Hebrew Verbs. Barron's Educational Series, 1996. ISBN 0-8120-9468-9.

Tanakh; The Holy Scriptures, The New JPS Translation According to the Traditional Hebrew Text. The Jewish Publication Society of America. Philadelphia, [year xx].

Only short passages of Biblical Hebrew text will be quoted in compliance with fair use guidelines. It will be taken from:

Friedman, Richard Elliott. A Commentary on the Torah, with a New English Translation and the Hebrew Text. HarperCollins Publishers, 2001. ISBN 0-06-050717-9 (paperback, 2003). In turn, Friedman includes the entire text of the Torah from the German Bible Society's (Deutsche Biblegesellschaft) Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, 1983.

A few words about pronouns and language: The Torah was written in a completely different culture from the Western culture in which we find ourselves today. It was much more androcentric and ethnocentric for example. As much as possible the generic, inclusive definition will be listed first, followed with a more literal definition in (parentheses).

Some examples:

[ melech ] means ruler, but literally means (King). Our definition would look as follows:

[ melech ] = ruler (king),

similarly,

[ Iysh ] is the most commonly used word in the Hebrew Bible for man, but can also mean humankind (mankind), husband, one, or person.

[ Iysh ] = man, humankind (mankind), husband, one (pron.), person.

Lesson One

The following six words are among the most common words found in the Torah (Ross, Chapter Three, pp. 46-47).

Midterm Research Project
Steve -

I don't know how to upload my presentation to the wiki. I will present tomorrow, and maybe someone could show me how to upload this.

Thanks, Kadine

Self-Assessment
Taking Humanities I/The Commons has really opened my eyes to what I view as "public art" or even things in the public forum. I like the way that Steve teaches through use of visual and audio samplings to help us understand what he is trying to get across to us. The first thing that really made me think was the video and discussion about the Amen Break. It is absolutely amazing to me how I have heard this beat too many times to count in my life, but I had no idea where it's roots came from or how the band that came up with it is getting absolutely no credit for it even though it is now technically in the public domain.

Another eye opener for me was The Umbrellas movie. It was really interesting to see how many people came together to make this project work. It was really expensive, but it brought together The United States and Japan in a way that had never been done before. Even though lots of things went wrong, it still happened and most everyone enjoyed the installation.

I enjoyed taking this class. I learned a lot and will continue to think about what is in the public domain verses what is for specific audiences. It is definitely something to be aware of. --KadineSpitzli 17:29, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello Former Student!

I'm writing to you because you took a class from me in the past few years at the Art Institute. As of Spring, 2010, I'll not be teaching further classes at AIS for the foreseeable future. (We're parting ways on good terms!) Until now, you've been able to reach my Wikiversity educational resources from my website, but I've decided to delete that link. You can still reach all of those materials here.

If you're interested in what I'm up to in the future (which will include an album in 2010 and a novel in 2011) you can friend my facebook page or drop me an email at info@stevenarntson.info and you'll receive a periodic update about performances, classes, and publications.

If you know any current or former students of mine who might be interested in any of this, please forward this information if you have a moment.

I hope all is well for you. Best! Stevenarntson

Personal Essay
Great work on this so far--one of the best-developed drafts I've seen this morning. My only major suggestion is that you consider returning to where you started, with your grandparents (a so-called "framing device"). One thing about naturopathic remedies is that some are snake oils, while others are more legit--and hopefully it is the doctor who would be able to tell you. But because those remedies are not being pumped by big pharma, they aren't getting much study. Doctors can prove quite ignorant of them, and not be able to tell one from another, which would support your primary argument.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Lusankya. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Lusankya~enwikiversity that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:37, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 06:14, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
My first impression with the sculpture park was very positive. There are not many outdoor “art galleries” around. However I thought it could be way much cooler. I thought there were more sculptures because of its size. I was impressed by some sculptures and indifferent with others. The piece I dislike the most was called Persephone Unbound by Beverly Pepper. To me at first I thought it was an old dead piece of log. Then I realize it was made of bronze. I still think it is a piece of art but I had issues trying to understand it. I did some research on Pepper’s sculpture and it actually caught me the explanation of the piece. “For ancient civilizations a well-positioned stone created a connection to the cosmos, and left vital evidence of a human presence.” – Beverly Pepper. Beverly does all kind of sculptures. Steel, bronze, aluminum, cast iron, stone and more. She also have an amazing land art (landscape) gallery that she have designed on her site which I though why didn’t she designed the sculpture park? Overall I didn’t quite changed my mind about the sculpture, I still think is a bit hard to read but I think it’s because its location (next to a shiny steel sculpture) However it is a great sculpture and the author is an amazing artist.

Midterm Assignment 3: Always Wanted To Progress Report (100 words or so)
My project started ok the first weeks, but after the third week everything went wrong. The Website I was putting together was all messed up. So it took me a couple of days to fix the coding. After that everything went nice and smooth. Donnie Bell (the client) noticed me that he won’t be able to give me the songs on time, so the music player will be post-pone for now. These last couple weeks I’ve been dealing with the animation process and the buttons. So hopefully I’ll have everything done by week 10

Self-Assessment
At the beginning of this class I thought to myself. Why am I taking this class? I don’t really need it. But I guessed wrong. I learned about things I didn’t even know it could be learned. It was a very interesting class with discussions that could change or make it stronger your perspective of something. I also liked the “I always wanted to” assignment. It helped me realize that I should do the same process for everything I want to be done in the future.

Topic talk:Engineering management

I am exploring creating Engineering Management content - in fact, I had been considering an idea not dissimilar from wikiversity. In doing some research I came across wikiversity and found that this topic exists here! Which is GREAT. Are there many contributors today? I can't seem to find any/much content - if so I will start to contribute it here... Raydy0hed 15:05, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Technical writing/Strategies

Users is an abusive term denoting drug addicts in many European countries please find an alternative less insulting phraseSnoozebob 15:25, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Would "end-users" be a more acceptable term or is that too specific?

"System users" "Customers" "clients" "utilizers" In the end, they all reduce to "users," as in "users of the final delivered product." The fact that 'user' may also be slang for 'drug user' or 'drug addict' does not preclude its appropriateness in the context of this course.

=Problem 1: Legendre differential equation=

Given
The Legendre differential equation with $$\displaystyle n=0$$
 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

(1-x^2)y''-2x y' = 0 $$ $$ such that the first homogeneous solution is given by $$\displaystyle u_1(x)=1$$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 1)
 * }
 * }

Find
Use reduction of order method 2 (Undet. Fact.) to find $$\displaystyle u_2(x)$$, the second homogeneous solution.

Solution
Eq. 1 can be re-written as follows:

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

y'' - \frac{2x}{1-x^2} y' = 0 $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 2)
 * }
 * }

Then

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

a_1(x)=\frac{-2x}{1-x^2} $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 3)
 * }
 * }

and

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

a_0(x)=0 $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 4)
 * }
 * }

The second homogeneous solution, $$\displaystyle u_2(x)$$, can be found directly as follows

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

u_2 (x) = u_1(x) \int_{}^x {\frac{1}} \exp \left[ { - \int_{}^t {a_1 (s)ds} } \right]dt $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 5)
 * }
 * }

The integral of $$\displaystyle a_1(s)$$ can be found by using partial fractions:

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

\int_{}^t \frac{-2s}{1-s^2} ds= \int_{}^t \left[\frac{1}{1+s} -\frac{1}{1-s} \right]ds = \log(1+t)+\log(1-t)=\log(1-t^2) $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 6)
 * }
 * }

Substituting $$\displaystyle u_1(t)=1$$ and Eq. 6 into Eq. 5 gives

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

u_2 (x) = (1) \int_{}^x {\frac{1}{(1)^2} \exp \left[ - \log(1-t^2) \right]}dt = \int_{}^x {\frac{1}{1-t^2}}dt $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 7)
 * }
 * }

The integral in Eq. 7 can be solved by using partial fractions

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

\int_{}^x {\frac{1}{1-t^2}}dt = \int_{}^x \left[\frac{1/2}{1-s} +\frac{1/2}{1+s} \right]ds = -\frac{1}{2}\log(1-x)+\frac{1}{2}\log(1+x) $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 8)
 * }
 * }

Therefore, the second homogeneous solution is given by

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

 * style="width:30%; padding:10px; border:2px solid #8888aa" |
 * $$ \displaystyle
 * $$ \displaystyle

u_2(x)=\frac{1}{2}\log \left( \frac{1+x}{1-x} \right) $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 9)
 * }
 * }

=Problem 2: Application of the reduction of order method 2 (King, 2003. Problem 1.1 b )=

Given
The following differential equation
 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

xy''+2 y'+xy = 0 $$ $$ such that the first homogeneous solution is given by $$\displaystyle u_1(x)=x^{-1}\sin(x)$$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 1)
 * }
 * }

Find
Use reduction of order method 2 (Undet. Fact.) to find $$\displaystyle u_2(x)$$, the second homogeneous solution.

Solution
Eq. 1 can be re-written as follows:

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

y'' + \frac{2}{x} y'+y = 0 $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 2)
 * }
 * }

Then

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

a_1(x)=\frac{2}{x} $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 3)
 * }
 * }

and

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

a_0(x)=1 $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 4)
 * }
 * }

The second homogeneous solution, $$\displaystyle u_2(x)$$, can be found directly as follows

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

u_2 (x) = u_1(x) \int_{}^x {\frac{1}} \exp \left[ { - \int_{}^t {a_1 (s)ds} } \right]dt $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 5)
 * }
 * }

The integral of $$\displaystyle a_1(s)$$ can be found as follows

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

\int_{}^t \frac{2}{s} ds= 2\log(t) $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 6)
 * }
 * }

Substituting $$\displaystyle u_1(t)$$ and Eq. 6 into Eq. 5 gives

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

u_2 (x) = \frac{\sin(x)}{x} \int_{}^x {\frac{1}{(t^{-1}\sin(t))^2} \exp \left[ - 2 \log(t) \right]}dt = \frac{\sin(x)}{x} \int_{}^x {\frac{t^2}{\sin^2(t)} \exp \left[ \log \left(\frac{1}{t^2} \right) \right]}dt = \frac{\sin(x)}{x} \int_{}^x {\frac{1}{\sin^2(t)}}dt $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle (Eq. 7)
 * }
 * }

Then,

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

\int_{}^x {\frac{1}{\sin^2(t)}}dt = \int_{}^x {\csc^2(t)}dt = -\cot(x) $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 *
$$\displaystyle (Eq. 8)
 * }
 * }

Substituting Eq. 8 into Eq. 7 gives

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

u_2(x)=\frac{\sin(x)}{x}\cdot\frac{-\cos(x)}{\sin(x)} $$ $$
 * $$\displaystyle
 * $$\displaystyle
 *
$$\displaystyle (Eq. 9)
 * }
 * }

Therefore, the second homogeneous solution is given by

 * {| style="width:100%" border="0" align="left"

 * style="width:30%; padding:10px; border:2px solid #8888aa" |
 * $$ \displaystyle
 * $$ \displaystyle

u_2(x)=-\frac{\cos(x)}{x} $$ $$
 *
$$\displaystyle (Eq. 10)
 * }
 * }
