Numerical Analysis Reading Club, Spring 2004

Topic : Classic Papers in Numerical Analysis
Meeting Time : Thursday, 2:30
Meeting Place : Applied Mathematics Library (Guggenheim 408D)

The topic this quarter was inspired by a course that Nick Trefethen taught about 10 years ago. A syllabus for this course can be found at this link.
