Readings for Week 3.  



Key:
Ell = Randy Ellis, Scientific Computing Notes
Rec = Gerald Recktenwald, Numerical Methods with Matlab

Ell class 7 covers some root finding algorithms that we won't be doing this term. So you don't need to read this as preparation for quiz 1. Similarly class 8 covers some partial explanations of the convergence rate of the different root finding methods, this too will not be examined in quiz 1.

Rec Chapter 3 is on Matlab programming. This chapter will be useful for some of the programming problems in the homework for week 2. My comments (see Readings Week 1.) on quickly reading through chapter 2 apply to chapter 3 as well.
