Readings for Week 11.
Week
10
Topic: Numerical Solutions
of Ordinary Differential Equations and Least Squares Curve
Fitting
Rec Chapter 12.
Sections 12.4 is about adaptive stepsize algorithms and section 12.5 is about
coupled ODEs and higher order
ODEs.
Class 31 of Ell is on
least squares curve fitting. We will actually cover a bit more than Ell does, so
this week reading Rec will be essential.
Chapter 9 of Rec is on least
squares curve fitting. We will only cover the material up to the end of section
9.2.2. The salient topics are the line fitting, transformations for fitting
apparently non-linear functions, and least squares fit to a linear combination
of functions.
