11/30 Today’s worksheet on numerical differentiation.
-
11/29 Here is the final exam study guide!
-
11/23 Today’s worksheet on numerical differentiation.
-
11/13 Today’s worksheet on numerical integration.
-
10/28 Here is a version of
usolve_hw9.mthat will trigger the behaviour to observe in problem Supplmental 1 on homework 9. It turns out that there is a subtle rounding issue; if your version ofusolveperforms the computations in a different order, you might not see the desired issues. -
10/14 Here is the midterm study guide!
-
10/12 Here is implementing partial pivoting worksheet. You will want the code
lsolve.mif you do not already have it. -
10/7 Here is the partial pivoting worksheet.
-
10/7 Here is the LU Factorization worksheet.
-
10/2 Here is today’s worksheet.
-
Here are instructions for updating the Matlab/Octave path. The technique demonstrated in class today was Matlab-specific. The technique shown here is a little more technical, but works equally well for Octave and Matlab.
-
In case your text has not yet arrived, here are the Chapter 2 problems. For subsequent homework, I expect you will have access to a text.
-
By popular demand, here is a LaTeX template file all set up for Homework 1A. Just fill in the blanks.
-
Websites of interest.
- Course Text web site (for Matlab code referenced in the exercises)
- Free online text: Moler, Numerical Computing with Matlab, SIAM Press 2004
-
Here is the Matlab/Octave tutorial from the first day of class.
-
You will use your choice of Matlab or Octave in this class.
-
Apparently UA has a Matlab license for students. Go to the UA software page to download it.
-
If we find something goes wrong with using the site license, you can buy Matlab for $49 for the student edition.
-
Octave is an open source alternative to Matlab. It can be downloaded following instructions from the Octave webpage. Their distribution mechanism has changed since the last time I taught this class; please let me know if you try this and encouter trouble.
I didn’t write a guide for Linux; if you are using Linux and need help just let me know.

-
We will use CampusWire for course-related discussions outside of class time. Please sign up promptly to ensure you don’t miss important announcements.
-
Here is HWDemo.tex, a template file for solutions written in LaTeX and a PDF figure that it includes. YOu can use it as a starting piont or writing up your own solutions. If it works for you, you should be able to make a PDF file like this.
-
Here is a beginner’s guide to LaTeX. Please read it, even if you have used LaTeX before.
-
In this class, you may wish to use LaTeX to typeset solutions. If you are new to using LaTeX, I can help. Your first step is to install LaTeX; here are some installation guides.
