Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To solve the differential equations on the computer and to plot the particle’s path in the plane with polar coordinates.

Concept Introduction:

A fixed point of a differential equation is a point where, f(x*) = 0 ; while substitution f(x*) = x˙ is used and x&*#x00A0;is a fixed point.

The winding number determines the nature of trajectory. In case of rational winding number, the trajectory is a trefoil knot while in case of irrational number, there is no closed solution.

Find the length of the curve r = 2 sin^3 (u/3), 0<=u<=3pai, in the polar coordinate plane.
Find the length of the curve r = 2 sin^3 (u/3), 0 … u … 3pi , in the polar coordinate plane.
from wave equation  ∇2u(r,t) + 1/c2 (∂2u(r,t)/∂t2) = 0, get the Helmholtz equation. Using that u(r,t) = u(r)ei2πνt
