Lecture Notes will be posted to the course web site after each class. For those students who also wish to have another source for the material, I recommend purchasing one of the following texts:
K. Atkinson, An Introduction to Numerical Analysis,, (second edition), Wiley, 1989.
D. Kincaid and W. Cheney: Mathematics of Scientific Computing, (third edition), American Mathematical Society, 2002.
A. Quarteroni, R. Sacco, and F. Saleri, Numerical Mathematics,, (second edition), Springer, 2004.
J. Stoer and R. Bulirsch: Introduction to Numerical Analysis, (third edition) Springer, 2002.
These books differ in the level of mathematical sophistication required, so it is helpful to look at the different books before deciding which one to purchase.Class meetings: Tuesday, Thursday 6th period (5:00 - 6:20), WL-AUD (Fall, 2009)
