Assignment #2
Due Wednesday 9/25
Note: The "Problems" should be doable by hand, but you can
always use Matlab to do computations. However, when
explanations, arguments, "show that ..." are called for, you need to include
your written answer in English.
Also: Please try to minimize the amount of paper your solution
uses. You can copy a few numbers by hand, sometimes, to save a page-long
printout with only those few numbers.
From text (Cheney&Kincaid, 4th ed.):
§3.3: Problems: # 5
And: Extra Credit Problem A: Show that that the Fibonacci
numbers defined on page 127-128 of the text satisfy equation (1) of
the text, with the given values of a alpha and beta.
§3.3: Computer Problems: # 16 (apply your program to #5 above,
and to solve x = cos(x) )
