Below are the course syllabus and some related materials we are going to use. The page is updated monthly during the semester.

Syllabus


Homework 1

Page 41-43, Problems: 2, 4, 11, 18, 21, 24, 25, 29, 30, 32. Hand in your HW 1 by October 1.

NOTE: Copy the papers distributed in class as early as possible, and then had a quick look at them before we meet on Oct 7. We will be talking about selections of the papers for your Final Project.

Homework 2

Hard copies of HW-2 distributed in class. Hand in HW before deadline date. NOTE: In you program the matrix should have size at least 20.

Homework 3

Write out every precondition matrix in your project, print out the spectral radius you obtain in every step and then arrange them in the descending order. Hand in your program and your results together by deadline date.

IMPORTANT: Midterm EXAM is schedlued to take place on November 5 in class. I will distribute the hard copy files on that day. Note that the exam will cover all the topics we studied in this class.

Homework 4

Work on your Project. Show me your initial results and the outline of your project Report.

Homework 5

Continue working on your project. Show your calculations. We will discuss your results.

NOTE: Your FINAL Project must be emailed to me by December 2 at 10pm. Your Presentation is scheduled to take place on December 3, Thursday, at 12:30 in class. If you have any questions, please let me know before your presentation.
