Annotated Reading List Week4
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 4:
Topic:- Gaussian Elimination, LU
decomposition, and
pivoting.
Class 26 in Ell is on
Gaussian elimination, and class 27 is on pivoting. There is all that Ell does on
this topic. We have done and will do considerably
more.
Chapter 7 in Rec is a
review of linear algebra. This week you should read section 7.1 , 7.2 (7.2.4
vector norms will be on next weeks reading list and I will discuss it in class,
so you can skip 7.2.4 for now.) 7.3.4, 7.3.5, 7.4.1, 7.4.2, 7.4.3.
Most of this should be a review of
the linear algebra you have already taken. I will not be actively lecturing on
these topics, rather the expectation is that you can brush up on this material
on your own.
Chapter 8 in Rec
covers Gaussian elimination and LU decomposition. This week read 8.1 8.2 and
8.4.1
Chapter 2 in Mol sections
2.1 - 2.7 covers what I have done this week in the fewest number of words.
