So if you ware working on homework 2, there are are few pieces of help I 
want to offer to get you through the first few sections of problems...

For problem 15 in section 2.1 the depth of the water is 1-h.   The 
bounds of h are 0 and 1.

In problem 16 you are looking for the value of omega.

In problem 28 in section 2.3 first take the derivative and set it equal 
to zero to find the time to reach the maximum --- then use this value of 
time to determine the size of the dose.  In the second part of that 
problem you will need to consider the time AFTER the maximum is reached, 
so you may need an expression like...

0.25=A(t+tmax)e−(t+tmax)/30.25 = A(t+t_{max})e^{-(t+t_{max})/3}where 
t_max is the time to reach the maximum -- the total time to drop to a 
concentration of 0.25 is then t+tmax.   For the third part of the 
problem you will obviously have to combine a few equations.
