AMATH 352
Autumn Quarter, 2006
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.
