Matrix Analysis and Algorithms Introduction
Objectives
Aim:Understanding the mathematical principles underlying the design and the analysis process
to solve some large scale problems central in numerical linear algebra.
At the end of the module you will familiar with concepts and ideas related to:
• diverse matrix factorisations
– to obtain analytical results,
– as the basis for various algorithms,
• assessing algorithms with respect to computational cost ; efficiency,
• error analysis,
– conditioning of problems,
– stablity of algorithms,
• direct versus iterative methods.
No coding, e.g. module MA4G7 Computational Linear Algebra and Optimization (Term 2).
