TEXTBOOK: Numerical Mathematics and Computing, 4th Edition by Ward Cheney and David Kincaid.
Published by Brooks/Cole Publishing Company
Fourth Edition, 1999
ISBN 0-534-35184-0. 560 pages

ASSIGNED COMPUTER PROJECTS:
A project consists of software development, testing and analysis. There will be two projects, each is worth 20% of the final grade. Both projects are individual, no group projects will be allowed.

COMPUTING:
Individual projects will be accepted in one of the following languages: Matlab, C, C++, Fortran and Java. My recommendation is to use MATLAB, since it can link executable files, it has graphics already built in and it is an interpretive language originally developed to handle mathematical problems. The best place to work on the project is the MERC lab. Please register for Math 1999 lab to reserve a computer. Each student will have an account on math (the name of the computer), and other (except for beowulf) Linux-based networked computers of the CCM graduate lab soon after the census date.
