Introduction to Computational Linear Algebra

Preface

This work results from two decades of common academic experience shared by

the authors in teaching, between 1996 and 2003, introductory and advanced

material in computational linear algebra and its application to numerical so-

lutions of partial and ordinary differential equations. During that period, the

authors worked as a team in a Master’s program on “Mathematical Modeling

and Numerical Simulation” managed jointly in Beirut by French, Swiss and

Lebanese universities. Since 2003, that common experience has continued and

is still pursued through multiple French-Lebanese collaborations in various

research projects, teaching missions and co-tutoring ...
