Math 465A, Numerical Analysis, Winter, 1996

This is the Math 465A homepage. Consult it from time to time to find useful information for the course. I will include links to the syllabus and other course information.

Here is a copy of current course information.

1. (3/6/96) Review topics
2. (3/5/96) Here is summary of a version of the fast Fourier transform. Note the slight change of notation from class.
3. (3/5/96) Here are some sample problems for the final exam.
4. (3/4/96) The FFT computer project will be due at 5pm in my office, C439 Padelford, on Monday, March 11.
5. (2/23/96) I am not going to cover section 5.3.3, so I am cancelling the homework on that section. I am also deleting problem number 1 of section 5.3.2, so the only homework due on February 28 id section 5.3.2, problems 4 and 6.
6. (2/14/96) Here is a write up of the power sum formulas referred to on page 192 of Johnson and Riess.
7. (2/12/96) There is a misprint in problem number 4 of section 4.4.4. The polynomials referred to should be from problems 2 and 3.
8. (2/8/96) Here is a set of sample problems for the midterm.
9. (2/8/96) Beginning next Friday, February 23, the quiz section will meet on Friday at 10:30 in Loew 220. (Jenn has to be out of town on Friday, February 16, so February 23 is the earliest that we can meet on the new schedule.)
10. (1/23/96) Here is a copy of the proof of Cayley-Hamilton Theorem that I gave in class on Monday, January 22.
11. (1/19/96) Edward Burger will give an Undergraduate Colloquium at 4pm on Monday, January 22 in Thomson 234. The title is The Texas Cake Cutting Massacre.
12. (1/15/96) For the first computer project, you may assume that the input matrix is tridiagonal.
13. How to view dvi and postscript files.
14. Course syllabus (preliminary version).
15. Computer projects.
16. Numerical Recipes in Fortran. This is a source book for Fortran routines. Many of them can be easily changed into Matlab functions.
17. Numerical Recipes in C is the C version of this book.
18. For those of you that are interested in using maple, there are worksheets made up by Greg Arden. They are in the files ~arden/public/{ worksheet1.ms, worksheet2.ms }, which you may copy. Call up maple from a menu or x-window and select file and then open from a maple menu. Then choose one of the worksheet files to open. You will be prompted through the worksheet.
19. An old edition of the Matlab Primer can be viewed from this link. I am not sure if you can bring it up from computers outside the Math Department.
20. Pete Stewart has made his Afternotes on Numerical Analysis available for public perusal. A first glance at them indicates they are quite good.
