Math 416 --- Lecture notes, handouts

Lecture Notes

Recommended text is Burden and Faires (your Macm 316 text). Additional notes will be made available.

Finite Differences and Spectral Methods

These are all the chapters. I am not certain we will cover all the material, so print the chapters as we go along.

Unfortunately, there has been a problem with the previously posted notes on Chapter 2 and Chapter 3: Some figures were missing (they were actually floated to the end of the document). The current version has the figures at the right locations. I have also added a table of contents.

Please note that your project makes reference to the notes as contained in the files below. PDEs.

Introduction to Numerical ODE Notes

These notes cover the lectures for the first two weeks or so.

MATLAB Primer

The Matlab Primer written by K Sigmon gives a brief introduction to some of the basic MATLAB features. You can obtain the 25-page PostScript file, or go to the HTML version of the primer at http://www.cis.yale.edu/secf/software/matlab/matlab-primer.html.
