Applied Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis

Important Announcements and Corrections

Typos in Section 14: The space S3 in (14.5) has basis vector [1 3]^T, not [1 2]^T as stated later in the section (e.g. in Ex. 14.22 and in (14.10).

• To plot a circle:
  theta = linspace(0,2*pi,1001);
  x = r*cos(theta);
  y = r*sin(theta);
  plot(x,y)
  

• 11/28: Sorry, I couldn't make it in for office hours this morning because of the icy roads around my house, but hope to be there this afternoon.

• Office hours changed to Tuesday 9-10am and 3:45-4:30pm at MSCC, Wed as before.

• Section 10 notes: The version originally posted has errors in (10.2) and (10.3) which have been fixed (10am, 10/25/06)

• HW5: myfeval.m was initially missing from the webpage. It's there now.

• HW4: The version passed out in class on 10/20 had typos in Problem 2(a) and 2(c): the second line of the conditions in each should read
      f(3) = 2, f '(3) = 0
  The version on the webpage has been fixed.

• in Example 8.2 on page 8-2 of the notes, the factor multiplying h^2 should be 27/8 = 3.375 instead of 27/2 = 13.5.

• HW3: #4 should read "Repeat all of Problem 3..." not "Problem 2". This has been fixed in the version currently on the hw3 webpage.

• HW2: the m-file sqrtTaylortable.m mistakenly had x=14 set in it instead of x=19. This has been fixed.

• Homework 1 due date extended to Friday 10/6.

• Please complete the 352 student survey to tell me a bit about yourself.

• Consider attending the Undergraduate Mathematical Sciences Seminar (offered as MATH 498-B Autumn Quarter)
  Oops - this meets at the same time as 352, but keep it in mind for future quarters.
