Assignments

Homework Information

Homework will be assigned every week. Most problems assigned will be from the textbooks, but some might just arise as questions during lectures. I will specify the problem sets each week, and collect the solutions one week later.

The assignments will have both theoretical and computational questions. The preferred language of this class (and of numerical linear algebra, in general) is MATLAB®.

Homework will be graded, and will represent 50% of your final grade.
