Goals

This course consists in a first numerical approach of the Linear Algebra I course. Direct and iterative methods are introduced by means of handwritten algorithms and numerical implementations using Matlab software. Systems of linear equations, eigenvalues and singular values, linear least-squares problem and linear optimization are studied.

Table of contents

Chap 1: Systems of linear equations - Chap 2: Eigenvalues and singular values - Chap 3: Linear least-squares problem - Chap 4: Linear optimization.

Assessment method

Written exam (3h, 50% theory - 50% exercises, if one of the two marks is lower than 7/20 only this mark will be taken into account). Group work accounts for 20% of the final mark.
