Course Description: 
 
MATH 3241(COSC 3121) is 
an introductory
course in
computational
linear algebra. 
Topics include simple error analysis, linear
systems of equations, nonlinear equation, 
linear least squares
and interpolation. 

Prerequisites: One of MATH1010.03, MATH1014.03, MATH1310.03; one of MATH1025.03,
MATH2021.03, MATH2221.03; one of COSC1540.03, COSC2011.03, COSC2031.03.







Text Book: 
 
   
Numerical Analysis, by Richard L. Burden
and J. Douglas Faires,

7th ed, Brooks/Cole Publishing Company, 2001.








Evaluation: 
 

Four assignments (total 15%).
 
Two class tests (each 20%, tentative dates:  Oct. 9, Nov. 13).

Final examination (45%).



There will be no make-up tests. If you miss a term test, upon presentation of 
documentation of a valid reason the corresponding percentage of the
test will be added to the following test in the course. 



Some practice problems chosen from the Exercise Set of the Text 
and the answers will be provided for each taught Chapter,
which would be very helpful for you to understand the content of the 
course and prepare your tests and your final examimation.
You are expected to do the suggested practice problems, however, you 
do not need to hand in them.
