SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING NOTES
Scientific Computing Notes: (Disclaimer: These notes are always being revised/added to as time allows. Please excuse any typos and formatting errors. That being said, they are being written to assist in graduate student preparation for their comprehensive exams in numerical analysis; however, they are not free or errors, yet. Eventually they will be compiled into a succinct book for teaching introductory scientific computing.)
