Homework 1	In Section 6.4: Do problems 1-5, 13-15, 22, and 29. In Section 6.5: Do problems 1-2, and 17.
Homework 2	In Section 6.5: Do problems 16 and 19. Find a stable difference method for ut = uxxx. In Section 6.6: Do problems 1, 2, 5, and 9. Also, solve ut + uux = 0 to t = 4 with u(x,0) = 1 and 0, also 0 and 1, as discussed in class (Lax-Friedrichs method).	case1.m (M) case2.m (M) Lax_friedrichs_1.m (M) batch.m (M) simulation.m (M)
