Readings for Week 2
Key:
Ell = Randy Ellis, Scientific
Computing Notes
Rec = Gerald
Recktenwald, Numerical Methods with
Matlab
Topics: -
Taylor's theorem, Root finding
algorithms
Taylor's theorem
is covered in Ell Class 1.
Root
finding algorithms relevant to this class are covered in Ell Classes 5 and 6.
Taylor's theorem is in Rec
section 5.1. There is an interesting discussion of convergence in section 5.2. I
won't explicitly cover this in class, but you will find reading this stuff now,
useful for material we will be doing in the weeks to come.
Root finding algorithms relevant to
this class are covered in Rec chapter 6 sections up to the end of section
6.6.
