One student asked for more practice problems on
asymptotic expansions. Some examples of algebraic/transcendental
equations are here, and
some differential equation problems are here.
One way of checking your answers on these is to
use the Maple codes aesol3.mpl.txt
and nonlinear_ode.mpl.txt
(modified for your problem) to compare them graphically with numerical solutions.

Intro Exercise on Maple on Linux: pdf, plain text
Computer orientation schedule
Unix command shell primer
Accounts should now have been created for everyone. Your account name will be your UB IT name,
and the initial password will be your person number. PuTTY, the software that allows Windows users
to connect can be downloaded from here.
Connect to linux.nsm.buffalo.edu*, or unix.nsm.buffalo.edu*, and type "maple" to start the
Maple plain text interface.
Here is a short primer to using the Unix command shell.
We will have a session 9/12 and 9/15 (see above) in the computer lab Baldy 8B for those who need help getting started.
*If you are off-campus and not using the UBVPN client (see here),
you will need to connect indirectly via
ubunix.buffalo.edu. (Connect to that first and then from there to the nsm machine.)
