Annotated Reading List Week2 


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 2:
Topics: - Root finding algorithms, Matlab programming

Root finding algorithms relevant to this class are covered in Ell Classes 5 and 6.
Root finding algorithms relevant to this class are covered in Rec chapter 6 sections up to the end of section 6.6.
Root finding algorithms are covered in Mol chapter 4.

Note: I won't hold you responsible for the material on Inverse Quadratic Interpolation. We may get back to this when we cover interpolation algorithms.

For a general introduction to Matlab Part I of Rec is good. For HW-3 chapter 3 is particularly useful.
