• Office: Padelford C-337, Phone: 543-1148
• Office Hours: Monday and Wednesday, 1-2PM, and by appointment.
• Stop me after class to find a time if posted hours are not possible. Please do no hesitate to come to see me. It is much better to raise questions as soon as they occur, rather than get farther behind.

• Numerical Analysis, 2nd Ed. by Lee Johnson and R.Dean Riess (out of print) reprint available from Professional Copy 'n' Print, 42nd and University Way.
• Introduction to Scientific Computing:  A matrix-vector approach using Matlab, by Charles Van Loan. Available from University Book Store.

1. Numerical calculation of eigenvalues.
2. Numerical solution of polynomial equations.
3. Numerical solutions of systems of non-linear equations.
4. Orthogonal polynomials and least squares approximation.
5. Gaussian Quadrature.
6. Introduction to Fast Fourier Transforms .
7. Possible introduction to Wavelet Transforms.

• Assignments due at each Friday. See schedule. Working the assigned problems is essential to learning the material. Homework should be handed in on time, to allow the TA time to grade them before the next Thursday quiz session.
• When you write up a home work or test solution or a computing project report, your work should show that you understand the methods involved. It is not enough to just give a numerical, or yes/no answer; explanations or supporting work should always be supplied.

• There will be one midterm exam and a final. For each exam in class, you will be allowed one 8.5 by 11 handwritten sheet of notes (both sides or two sheets for the final). Scientific calculators can be used on exams if helpful, but only for standard numerical calculations, no symbolic and specially programmed calculations are to be done.
• Some of the exams may have a take-home part. This will be handed out the class before the in-class exam and will be handed in with your in-class exam. Any take home exams are to be worked entirely on your own, using the text and handouts as references, but not consulting or comparing work with any other people.
