CS3911 Reading List: Week 8

Textbook Material
Read the following materials
  • Section 4.2.2 (This section will not be discussed in class; but, read it and verify the results anyway because the Cholesky method is important.)
  • Polynomial interpolation and approximation slides file is in Inter-Approx.pdf.

Do the following problems
From our text
  • Problems P4.7, P4.11: Redo these problems with the iterative refinement method. More precisely, get the correct answer first, slightly change the correct answer a little, and apply the iterative refinement method a few iteration to improve the accuracy.

You do not have to turn in your paper. What I really expect you to do is using these problems to gauge your understanding of the subject. So, do the problems after finish reading the above sections.
