Course Objectives This course is designed to give the expertise necessary to understand, construct and use computational methods for the numerical solution of linear algebra problems. The emphasis is on derivation and analysis of iterative methods for linear algebra problems as well as condition number, convergence, stability of algorithms and the criteria for choosing the best algorithm for the problem under consideration.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Understand the theoretical and practical aspects of the construction and implementation of the numerical methods
  • Establish the advantages, disadvantages and limitations of the numerical methods and select the algorithms that converge to solutions in the most effective way
  • Construct and apply iterative methods for the approximate solution of linear systems and eigenvalue-eigenvector problems,
  • Estimate/determine the condition number of the linear system and condition the linear system whenever necessary
  • Analyze the error and establish the conditions for convergence related to these methods
  • Implement the methods and/or algorithms as computer code and use them to solve applied problems
  • Discuss the numerical methods and/or algorithms with respect to stability, applicability, reliability, conditioning, accuracy, computational complexity and efficiency
Course Content Matrix and vector norms, error analysis, solution of linear systems: Gaussian elimination and LU decomposition, condition number, stability analysis and computational complexity; least square problems: singular value decomposition, QR algorithm, stability analysis; matrix eigenvalue problems; iterative methods for solving linear systems: Jacobi, Ga
