Homework Set # 3 (due September 24, 2007) There is a mistake in the rhs of the second equation of problem 1. In Latex it should read: $\frac R2 (d\phi + d\phi1)$.

Homework Set # 4 (due October 1, 2007)

Notice that there is a typo in the solution of 2b). The last formula should read: u +\frac {d^2}du^2} = + \frac m{L_z^2u^2} f(1/u). Then the sign on the first formula of the solution of 2c) is also opposite, and contrary to an earlier comment, k > 0. The sign of the term with k in the 4, 5, and 6th line should also be opposite. The final result is correct, i.e. \frac{d^2\dleta u}{d\phi^2} = -\delta u (n+3).

Homework Set # 5 (due October 8, 2007)

Solutions of Set # 5: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

Homework Set # 6 (due October 14, 2007) In problem 3, the boundary condition should read x_{N-1} = x_{-1}. Notice that in my solution the indices in the Lagragian are different, and for that the boundary conditions as stated in the problem should be applied.

Homework Set # 7 (due October 21, 2007)

The initial conditions in 3) should read x(0) = 0, x'(0) = 0.

In problem 3b) the Ansatz should read: x = A t \sin \omega t + b \cos\3\omega t.

The idea of problem 4) is that you first calculate the period from integrating \frac{dx}{dt } = \sqrt{2(E-V)} sp that \be T = 2 \int \frac{dx}{\qsrt{2(E-V)} \ee and the integral over $x$ is inbetween the turning points, which depend on $\epsilon$. You can expand this formula to first order in \epsilon. the result should agree with LL.
