 +===== Theorem 16.3 (Solution of the zero-Dirichlet wave equation) =====
 +
 +At the start of the lecture, we continue deriving the Fourier coefficients for the problem of zero Dirichlet conditions on the wave equation. We show that 
 +
 +$$
 +u(x, t) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \sin\left(\frac{n\pi x}{L}\right) \left[ A_n \cos\left(\frac{n\pi ct}{L}\right) + B_n \sin\left(\frac{n\pi ct}{L}\right)\right]
 +$$
 +
 +where
 +$$
 +A_n = \frac{2}{L} \int_0^L u_0(x) \sin\left(\frac{n\pi x}{L}\right) \ \mathrm{d}{x}.
 +$$
 +
 +and 
 +Again we recognise this as the sine series, so we now need to equate
 +$$
 +B_n = \frac{2}{L} \left(\frac{L}{n\pi c}\right)\int_0^L v_0(x) \sin\left(\frac{n\pi x}{L}\right) \ \mathrm{d}{x}. 
 +$$
 +
 +===== Example 16.4: Plucked string =====
 +
 +The next thing we did was look at the solution for the plucked string of example 16.4 in the notes. This yields the above Fourier series solution with Bn=0 and
 +$$
 +A_n = \frac{4}{n^2\pi} \sin(n\pi/2).
 +$$
 +
 +We showed off the simulations of the problem using the following code. 
 +

 +close all
 +
 +% c = 1
 +
 +x = linspace(0, pi, 100);
 +t = linspace(0, 2*(2*pi), 80);
 +Afunc = @(k) 4*(-1)^k/((2*k+1)^2*pi);
 +un = @(x, t, k) Afunc(k)*sin((2*k+1)*x).*cos((2*k+1)*t);
 +
 +Nk = 80;
 +figure(1)
 +for j = 1:length(t)
 +    tt = t(j);
 +    u = 0;
 +    for k = 0:Nk
 +        u = u + un(x,tt,k);        
 +    end
 +    plot(x, u); 
 +    ylim([-pi/2, pi/2]);
 +    drawnow
 +    if j == 1
 +        pause;
 +    else
 +        pause(0.1)
 +    end
 +end
