Catalog Description:
Selected topics not covered in regular offerings.
Description:
We will continue the topics started in MATH 629 Numerical Analysis: Linear Algebra.
Desired Learning Outcomes:
Students will have a deep understanding of numerical methods for linear algebra. They will know the standard methods and be able to analyze and learn new methods on their own.
Prerequisites:
MATH 629.
Instructor:
Martin J. Mohlenkamp, mohlenka@ohio.edu, (740)593-1259, 315B Morton Hall.

Text:
Numerical Linear Algebra, by Lloyd N. Trefethen and David Bau III. Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 1997; ISBN 978-0-898713-61-9. We will cover sections 25-40
Format:
The students will divide the topics in each section amongst themselves and present the topics to each other. They will select two homework problems from each section, collectively produce solutions, and present them in class.
Grade:
The course will be graded CR or F. Students who attend and present as described above will receive CR.
