All exercises are taken from the textbook. The list will be expanded regularly. New questions will be in red, and deleted questions will be stroked out.
If we don't cover a section completely, the comments column below will indicate this.
If a question number is a hyperlink, then clicking on the link will provide more information about the question. (Currently only question 31 in Section 2.2.)
In order to become familiar with the material, you will probably have to solve more exercises than the ones given below. (Recall that the questions in quizzes and exams will not simply be these exercises with changed numbers!)

Exercise for Section 4.6:
Take the matrix from Exercise 7 in that section.
a) Find the equilibrium state y for a total initial population of 10.
b) Show that in the long run any initial state x0=[a,b] with a+b=10
tends to the equilibrium state y found in (a).
Solution.
