Note:
You can use formulas listed in table 5.1 without proof. Apart from this table, other formulas for Laplace and Inverse Laplace of the function given by various theorems in Chapter 5 can also be used without proof. Any other formula used must be accompanied by a brief reasoning.

ODE Final Exam

The Final Exam for ODE will be based on the following sections of the 8th edition of Kreyszig's Advanced Engineering Mathematics:

Ch 1: All, except sections 1.2 and 1.9.
Ch 2: All, except sections 2.4 and 2.13--2.15.
Ch 3: 3.0 to 3.3. From 3.6, only method of undetermined coefficients when RHS has no term which is a solution of the homogeneous equation.
Ch 5: 5.1 to 5.5.

The marks distribution will be Ch 1 (20), Ch 2 (20), Ch 3 (20), Ch 5 (40).
