1) Define a sequence of polynomials H n (x ) by H 0 (x )=1, H 1 (x )=2 x , and for n>1 by H n+1 (x )=2 x H n (x )−2 n H n−1 (x ) . These polynomials are called Hermite polynomials of degree n. Calculate the first 7 Hermite polynomials of degree less than 7. You can check your results by comparing them to the list of Hermite polynomials on wikipedia (physicist's Hermite polynomials).

2) Use the power series method to solve the differential equation y ' '−2 x y '+λ y=0 where λ is an arbitrary constant. Verify that you get two independent solution y1, y2 by choosing a0=1, a1=0 and a0=0 , a1=1 . Show that the series expansion for one of the two solutions will terminate resulting in a polynomial solution when λ is chosen to be a positive even integer, λ=2 ,4,6,8,10 ,12 ,14 ,.... Rescale the polynomial solution so it starts with 2 n x n + lower powers of x , n=λ/2. Calculate the list of polynomials obtained this way and compare them to your solution of problem 1)

Find the pointwise limit f(x) of the sequence of functions fn(x) = x^n/(n+x^n) on [0, ∞). Explain why this sequence does not converge to f uniformly on [0,∞). Given a > 1, show that this sequence converges uniformly on the intervals [0, 1] and [a,∞) for any a > 1.

Fibonacci Sequence: F(0) = 1, F(1) = 2, F(n) = F(n − 1) + F(n − 2) for n ≥ 2 (a) Use strong induction to show that F(n) ≤ 2^n for all n ≥ 0. (b) The answer for (a) shows that F(n) is O(2^n). If we could also show that F(n) is Ω(2^n), that would mean that F(n) is Θ(2^n), and our order of growth would be F(n). This doesn’t turn out to be the case because F(n)...
