Course Notes and Handouts -- Interval Arithmetic and Automatic Differentiation

There are various supplementary handouts from the course, mostly taken from the book Rigorous Global Search: Continuous Problems. These supplements are as follows:

An introduction to interval arithmetic
Univariate interval Newton methods
An example of interval arithmetic in Mathematica
Table of contents and preface to Rigorous Global Search: Continuous Problems
Index to Rigorous Global Search: Continuous Problems
An outline of features of Fortran 90 (A presentation by Wolfgang Walter; somewhat dated, but description of the language is correct)

All of the above are in Postscript. They may be viewed or stored to a file by clicking on them, if Ghostscript and Ghostview, free, downloadable packages are installed. They may also be printed on any PostScript printer.

Finally, the following are available in TeX DVI and in Postscript format for viewing or printing, as convenient.

An elementary outline and summary of interval arithmetic and interval Newton methods.

An old but elementary introduction to automatic differentiation
