Seattle Campus

Applied Linear Algebra and Introductory Numerical Analysis

Numerical methods for solving linear systems of equations, linear least squares problems, matrix eigen value problems, nonlinear systems of equations, interpolation, quadrature, and initial value ordinary differential equations. Offered: jointly with MATH 584; A.

Class description

This course covers numerical methods for linear algebra (solving linear systems of equations, linear least squares problems, matrix factorizations, eigenvalue problems) and an introduction to numerical methods for differential equations (finite difference methods for initial value ODEs). The emphasis of the course is on numerical linear algebra with an introduction to numerical methods for differential equations. AMATH 585 in the winter and 586 in the spring are a continuation of AMATH 584, and cover numerical methods for differential equations in more detail.
