 Important take away: We computed $\phi$ and $A$ in this example. We found a way to know the envelope of the amplitude of the oscillating system and it's phase shift.

 when $tx$ wasn't there in last problem we had the solution:

 since $u(0,t)=u(\pi,t)=0$ we can expect a solution of the form:
 $u(x,t)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty u_{n}(t)\sin\left( \frac{n\pi x}{\pi} \right)$
 If any of the boundary conditions are non zero, then we have to split(?) into X and T. (needs verification)

+# Recommended material:
+For the midterm exam, I highly recommend watching this video by The Math Sorcerer: [youtube.com/watch?v=kIZpbeE_yTc](https://youtube.com/watch?v=kIZpbeE_yTc)
+From my experience, studying off this video was by far the best use of my time. Try each question yourself and follow his solution to check.
+</br>
+For the final exam, I unfortunately couldn't find good study videos. I recommend studying PDE's hard, solidify your understanding of heat eq, driven heat eq, heat eq with non-zero end points, wave eq, and driven wave eq. Afterwards, I recommend studying power series since it's the next biggest scary monster. Finally, go over the rest of the past topics to fill your understanding and memory if you have the time. I'm thinking I should record a final exam review guide, hmmm. I'll update this text if I ever make one.
