Here is the little I have learned in the last days. I hope
this give me enough material to study for the next two weeks and beyond.
The Stewart book seems to contain most of the topics I found
in other class syallabi. I hope the Chapra book will offer many examples
and Matlab programs. Sections of Pizer's book seemed to give a high level
view of the Numerical analysis material.
-
Stewart, G.W, Afternotes on Numerical Analysis, Philadelphia: SIAM,
1996.
-
Chapra, Steven, Canale, Raymond, Numerical Methods for Engineers,
4th ed, Boston: Mc Graw Hill, 2002.
-
Pizer, Stephen, Wallace, Victor, To Compute Numerically, Concepts and
Strategies, Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1983.
These topics seem to be common to Numerical Analysis classes.
Many of there topics are also covered in the Stewart book.
-
Newton's method for finding roots
-
Floating point arithmetic
-
Linear equations
-
Numerical Integration
-
Eigen values -- have learned but what is the significance
-
I will add more as I read more.
I have looked at several UW class as I am familiar with the
classes. I found the other classes through web searches. I was not able
to find the NumA class at UBC.
