Week 1

We started the first chapter on Linear Algebra. Essentially, for us, simultaneous equations. We looked at Gaussian Elimination including Partial Pivoting, which is required in the presence of rounding. We looked at five examples, and had 15 minutes of tutorial time.

Gaussian Elimination Tutor

If you download Maple (see Student Resources), there is a Maple Tutor that is easy to use and will help you with Gaussian Elimination. Open up Maple and go to Tools -> Tutors -> Linear Algebra -> Gaussian Elimination.

Week 2

We will finish the Gaussian Elimination examples on Monday, and maybe begin to look at applications of linear systems to traffic and pipe flow.

We will have a tutorial on Wednesday.

Assignment 1

Assignment 1 has a (provisional) hand-in date of  Thursday 24 February (Week 5). More information next week once the class list has settled down.

Study

Please feel free to ask me questions about the exercises via email or even better on this webpage.
