CSci 5304 -- Computational Aspects of Matrix Theory
GENERAL INFORMATION
This course introduces the basic numerical techniques in linear algebra.
Applications will be mentioned to motivate the material, but the emphasis will
be on the design and analysis of the algorithms and the results they produce.
For more details, see the syllabus.

The final exam is Saturday December 15 at 4pm.
It is in room 3-125 (not the usual room).
It will use the same ground rules as previous exams
(open book/notes, calculators OK for simple arithmetic).
- 12/11/07
I will hold an office hour on Thursday Dec 13 at 9-10am. Feel free to come
to ask questions.
- 12/10/07
Here is an Old Final Exam.
Keep in mind that the topics on this final exam do not exactly match the
topics covered this year.
- 12/04/07
Here is a list of all the sections in the book
corresponding to the topics covered in class.
- 11/19/07 In light of some questions from several people, I
posted some clarifications about HW3, especially on what you should hand in.
- 11/19/07 Some people were wondering about the term-frequency
matrix in HW3. This matrix consists of word counts based on the document
contents. The contents are located in the zip file mentioned within the
data file. These contents are a lot more than just the headlines included
in the file.
- 11/15/07 Homework 4
is now posted, due Dec 06.
- 11/15/07 I can answer questions on the homework on Friday
11/16/07. I should be in my office by 11:30am (after another meeting).
- 10/30/07 Homework 3 is now posted, due Nov 20.
Click here to find it, together with some
associated data.
- 10/26/07 Please hand in all parts of HW2 by the beginning of
class on Oct 30.
- 10/24/07
Because there have been a lot of questions about problem 4 on HW2,
and since I am unable to answer them in person (by being out of
town), you can hand in just problems 1 thru 3 of HW2 on its due date,
and wait to hand in problem 3 until a date to be announced.
[Originally I said problem 3, but I meant problem 4.].

1, and the subset of those topics to be covered on Midterm 2.
- 10/17/07 Announcements moved to the Front Page of the Class
Web Site.
- 10/16/07 HW2 has been updated to fix an error in problem
2. The equation for joint 4 of the truss had a spurious s.

Also the due date is now 10/25/07.
- 10/08/07 A
discussion phorum
is now available for this class.
You can use this for questions or to find potential partners for HW2.

- 09/25/07 To make sure this is clarified in advance...
the midterm on 9/27 will be "open book/notes". Calculators will be allowed
for simple arithmetic.
- 09/24/07 Answers to HW1 posted. Click
here to find it.
- 09/20/07 Sections to be covered on the first midterm are
Chapter 1, Secs 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, Secs 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 (not the proofs),
