Numerical Linear Algebra
Pre-study The course will start with a pre-study week from October 6 - 10, 2014. The following exercises will hopefully give you a smooth introduction into the topic. You can solve these problems using the lecture notes and other textbooks you find helpful.Instructions and material for pre-study week Instructions PDFLecture notes PDF Pre-study No 1 PDF Pre-study No 2 PDF Pre-study No 3 PDF Pre-study No 4 PDF Pre-study No 5 PDF How to send in answers Please write the answers to the theoretical questions and send them as a pdf, it does not have to be typed, it could also be handwritten and you can send me a photo. For the other exercises send in your solutions as .m files.Lectures A lecture week at KTH will follow from October 13 - 17, 2014. The lectures will take place at the main building of KTH (Lindstedtsvägen 3 and 5) in the following rooms:Monday October 13, room 1537, floor 5, PDF Tuesday October 14, room 4523, floor 5, PDF Wedesday October 15, room 4523, floor 5, PDF Thursday October 16, room 4523, floor 5, PDF Friday October 17, room 4523, floor 5 Important: Bring your own laptop computers for the lecture week at KTH!

This can be from a discretization of a PDE or from a problem you work within your Ph.D project, etc. The only requirement it should meet is that the size is changeble, e.g. by choosing a different discretization parameter for your PDE.
