COMMENTS ON HOMEWORK 3 1. This was much better than homework 2! There is still lots of room for improvement (the drill sergeant never stops yelling). 2. If there is something you don't understand, find out. This applies particularly to Matlab programming. There are plenty of people in the class who can do it, find one of them. 3. Make sure you label each graph. You can just write something in or use the computer. 4. Don't switch off the brain. The majority of the class correctly found the eigenvalues for question 3. EVERY one of you said that the system should be stable because the eigenvalues have negative real part. NOT ONE of you commented that the computed solution does something else: it grows.
