Homework 1

Homework 2

Homework 3

This course essentially covers Chapters 5-7 in the text with possibly some additional topics at the end of the course (see topics), if time/weather permit.

Topics:
Iterative methods to find roots or minimum points
Matrix reductions
Computing eigenvectors and eigenvalues (and singular values)
Numerical methods for ODEs
Numerical methods for boundary value problems
Difference methods
Variational methods
Finite volume methods (time permitting)
Shock capturing (time permitting)


Grading: The grade is 25% of three homework scores, then 25% of the final project (includes a 20-minute presentation).
