- The primary text will be the manuscript,
Introduction to Numerical Analysis by Arnold Neumaier. I have a
Postscript copy of this book, and you will receive copies of it for the
cost of duplication. In return, you will be expected to find and report
errors in it. (You will receive extra credit for each such error found.)
Unless otherwise listed, assignments
will be from this text.

- W. Brainerd, C. Goldberg, and J. Adams,
Programmer's Guide to Fortran 90, Third Edition, Springer Verlag,

the course uses Fortran 90. Copies have been ordered at Follett's, and
the book can also be ordered online from http://www.fortran.com/fortran/Books/gd.html
