Introduction to Computational Linear Algebra presents class-
room-tested material on computational linear algebra and its appli-
cation to numerical solutions of partial and ordinary differential equa-
tions.
The text rst introduces BLAS operations of types 1, 2, and 3 adapt-
ed to a scientic computer environment, specically MATLAB
®
. It
next covers the basic mathematical tools needed in numerical linear
algebra and discusses classical material on Gauss decompositions
as well as LU and Cholesky’s factorizations of matrices. The text
then shows how to solve linear least squares problems, provides a
detailed numerical treatment of the algebraic ...
