Syllabus: Programming for numerical calculations, round-off error, approximation and interpolation, numerical quadrature, matrix computations, and solution of ordinary differential equations.

• Error anlysis, roundoff error and computer arithmetic, algorithms and convergence (Chapter 1)
• Nonlinear equations: bisection, Newton and secaont methods (Chapter 2)
• Polynomial interpolation and approximation (Chapter 3)
• Numerical differentiation and integration (Chapter 4)
• Initial value problems for ordinary differential equations (Chapter 5)
• Matrix computations: linear systems, matrix factorizations, norms (Chapters 6, 7.1)
• Approximation theory, least squares approximation, trigonometric polynomials, FFT (Chapter 8)

Grading:

programming assignments:	15%	(all scores count)
homework:	15%	(2 lowest scores dropped)
quizzes:	20%	(lowest score dropped)
Midterm:	20%	Thurs, July 14 (in class)
Final exam:	30%	Thurs, Aug 11, (in class)

More Details: 13 written assignments, 5 programming assignments, 5 quizzes. My grade cutoffs are usually around 90 A, 85 A-, 80 B+, 75 B, 70 B-, 65 C+, 60 C, 50 D. Your midterm grade will be replaced by your grade on the final if you do better on the final. If you miss the midterm for any reason (illness, family emergency, didn't study, etc.), the final will count for both. Homework is due at the beginning of class. Quizzes will be given on Thursdays at 11:10AM. Programming assignments will be submitted on line as explained in class. Late assignments and missed quizzes cannot be made up. Collaboration is encouraged in discussing ideas, but you are not allowed to share code or written solutions of homework. Programming assignments will be cross-checked for similarity. If you are caught cheating, you will receive an F in the course and be reported to the university.
