Aug 10 Suggested solution for problem set 5 has been posted.

I am holding extra office hours from 4pm to 5pm this Thur and Friday.

In lecture 5, slide 15, the last step in the CG iteration should be: pk = rk + βk pk-1. The lecture 5 slides have been updated.

For problem 6(b), please report the number of iterations and residual norm of the system of linear equations solved by your program.

Problem 5 and Problem 6(b) in the examination file have been updated:

Aug 9 Problem 6(a) refers to the algorithm given in lecture 5 slide 15, which has a different index scheme than the algorithm given in the textbook (to see the differences, compare the indices on the left of the equations in the two algorithms).

Please write your own code for Problem 7(b). If you want, you may use Matlab's built-in functions for ODEs only for comparison of answers.

Sou Cheng

Aug 8 In problem 5, please assume nm.

For problem 4(b), if you are not seeing "interesting" results, you may choose different values for n. Also, to compute the backward errors, we first need to identify the inputs and the output of the problem.

Aug 8 There is a typo in problem 2 of the final examination. The second equation in the last line of page 1 should read V = AtY (Y was left out). A corrected version of the examination has been posted. The new link to the exam file is:
