| Prerequisites | The prerequisite for this course is CME 302. |
| Textbooks | There is no required textbook. The recommended textbooks are Matrix Computations by Gene Golub and Charles van Loan, and Applied Numerical Linear Algebra by James Demmel. Additional reading material will be listed here. |
| Coursework | The coursework will consist of written homework assignments, which will also include programming exercises in MATLAB. |
| Grading | The overall grade for the course is determined by weighting each of the homework assignments equally. Letter grades are based on a ``straight scale''. If a student is unable to complete the course due to circumstances beyond his or her control, the instructor may assign a grade of incomplete. |
| Policies |
For homework assignments, the work that you submit for this course is to be your own work, with assistance from the course staff. Giving or receiving aid which makes the coursework significantly easier undermines the learning process and is therefore strongly discouraged. Please use your common sense and remember that the primary goal is to learn the course material. At all times, you must abide by the Stanford Honor Code.
All assignments must be submitted by the given due date. Every day that an assignment is late, 10% of the total points allotted for that assignment will be deducted from the overall grade. However, each student is allotted three days for the entire course, to be used for any needed extensions, for any reason without penalty. Please use these days wisely, for additional extensions must be granted in advance by the instructor and will only be granted if deemed absolutely necessary. Weekends and University holidays do not count as late days. If you have any questions regarding course policies, please direct them to the instructor. |
