This reading list will provide a list of
material to read to keep up in the course. The list will contain options, where
you may read one of several treatments of the same material.
The
list:
Key:
Ell = Randy Ellis, Scientific
Computing Notes
Rec = Gerald
Recktenwald, Numerical Methods with
Matlab
Mol = Cleve Moler, Numerical
Computing with
Matlab
Week 1:
Topics: - Matlab Intro - floating
point numbers
The Matlab
example done in lecture 1 is taken from Mol section
1.1
The material on magic squares
from Hmwk 1 is in Mol section
1.4
For a general introduction
to Matlab Part I of Rec is good. For Hmwk 1 chapter 2 is particularly
useful.
Floating point numbers
are covered in Ell Classes 2 and
3.
Floating point numbers are covered
in sections 5.1 and 5.2 of Rec.
Floating point numbers are covered
in Mol section 1.7.
My class
notes are a distillation of all 3 presentations leaving some things out and
adding other things in.
