CS3911 Reading List: Week 13

Textbook Material
Read the following materials
  • Section 12.1 and Section 12.2
  • Slides ODE.pdf in the common directory.
  • Section 5.1.1
  • Slides EigenProb.pdf in the common directory.

Do the following problems
From our text
  • Problems P12.1, P12.3, P12.7 You should do these problems with Euler's, Heun's, second order Runge-Kutta's (e.g., Ralston), and predictor-corrector (with three iterations) methods. Try to divide the interval into at least four subintervals and compare the results with the exact solutions as discussed in class.

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.
