Readings for Week 9.
Key:
Ell = Randy Ellis, Scientific
Computing Notes
Rec = Gerald
Recktenwald, Numerical Methods with
Matlab
Week
9:
Topics:- Gaussian
Quadrature.
The Ell notes
covers Gaussian quadrature very tersely in class 22.
A more thorough treatment of
Gaussian quadrature is done in Rec, section 11.3, however, some of it does not
pertain to the material I covered this term. In particular section 11.3.4 on
computing the nodes and weights can be skipped. You will need to read section
11.3.5 on composite Gaussian quadrature (also known as Gauss Legendre
quadrature) to do one of the homework questions. I will go over this with you
when we do the solutions to the homework.
