Syllabus:
1. Interpolation and Approximation.
2. Numerical Integration.
3. Computation of Eigenvalues.
4. Iterative Methods for Linear Systems.
Computer Work: Some of the assigned problems involve the use of MATLAB. MATLAB is availible on MATHNET, WAM or GLUE. If you need help with this, please see me.
Exams and Assignments: There will be a midterm exam, six homework assignments and a final exam on Thursday, May 22 from 8 to 10 a.m. Grades will be based on the above, approximately 30% homework assignments, 30% midterm and 40% final exam.
The midterm exam will be Monday, March 17
Lecture Notes: I will place a copy of my lecture notes on reserve at the ESPL. They should be available by early afternoon on the day of the class. Thus it is not necessary to copy everything from the board in class.
