- Text:
- Numerical Linear Algebra and Applications
- by Biswa Nath Datta
- Objectives:
- This course introduces numerical algorithms for a range of linear algebraic operations. The operations considered include eigenvalue problems and both direct and iterative methods for solving linear systems of equations. The class will review/introduce linear algebra and computational techniques and issues as required.
- Reading:
- Reading is assigned in each class meeting to be completed before the next class. Since the lectures will typically focus only on highlighting the main points, it is critical that you do this reading to pick up important details and ask questions about points that are unclear.
- Homework and Code:
- Homework and coding exercises will be assigned.
- Exams and Projects:
- There will be a final exam and numerous programing assignments during the semester.
- Resource Directory:
- The directory
math.mtu.edu/~struther/4610/CodeETC will be used to provide code samples and data sets. Please let me know if I forget to set the permissions on files in this directory.
