Description and Contents:
Numerical Analysis II is mainly about the following topics (tentatively):

• iterative methods for nonlinear systems
• numerical interpolation and integration
• approximation of functions
• Fourier series and fast Fourier transform
• some other main-stream topics

Required Textbook:

• K. E. Atkinson, An Introduction to Numerical Analysis, John Wiley & Sons, 1989.

Recommended Supplemental Textbook:

• J. Stoer and R. Bulirsch, Introduction to Numerical Analysis.

Homework and Projects

• This will be a computationally intensive course, including programming and written assignments.
• The computational problems will utilize MATLAB, but other languages (Fortran, C, C++, etc) are acceptable as well.
• Homework due in class. No late homework accepted.

Exams:

• One midterm exam and one final exam. The final exam is comprehensive.

Grading based on:

• Class participation (10%), assignments (30%), the midterm (20%), the final exam (40%).
  
• 4.0: 90% - 100%; 3.5: 80% - 89%; 3.0: 70% - 79%; 2.5: 60% - 69%; 2.0: less than 60%.

Assignment:

• Homework Assignment 1: PDF file. Due: Wed. Jan 28, in class.
