Title: I need math help.
Post by: Turambar on June 19, 2006, 07:51:05 am: I have one week of school left. Before that time, i have to learn and understand second-order differential equations and non-homogeneous linear differential equations. can anyone help me out?

Post by: Colonol Dekker on June 19, 2006, 09:16:27 am: High level math short courses,..... I may be brash, but i'm not reckless.
Surely one course at a time would have een easier? :confused:

Ask the Warpstorm people, perhaps, very kindly, if CP or Bob don't show up.

It has some sub-types under links.
Maybe it wil be of some use...

And that's an understatement.

Me too. I know about differential equations though. Had to know it for the AP Calculus test. :p

I don't know why, but as soon as I read that, I though of Trek technobabble.

Post by: aceofspades on June 19, 2006, 09:30:34 pm: Probably a result of not knowing much about second-order differential equations and nonhomogenous linear differential equations.

Post by: Eishtmo on June 20, 2006, 07:04:57 pm: Diff EQ was actually rather easy compared to regular calculus, at least I always thought so.

The question remains though, what kind of help do you want? Give me a problem you're having problems with and I'll see what I can do to walk you through it.
