Numerical Methods schedule for the Week beginning Monday 14 May
_______________________________________________________________

1. The tutorial questions are 1,2,3 and 4(a). 
   All require Fortran programs.
   
   Question 1 is an implementation of Gauss-Doolittle elimination
   with partial pivoting, applied to a non-singular system. The only
   programming involves changing the matrices A and b.
    
   Question 2 is an application of the program from Question 2 to a singular
   system. You should show directly that the system is singular but consistent.
   Also consider the program's solution carefully.
   
   Question 3 uses a library implementation of gaussian elimination. Treat it as
   a grey box - you don't need to know the details of how it works. But note 
   that it provides an estimate of the condition of
   the system of equations and is able to warn of possible errors in Question
   2. The only programming involves changing the matrices A and b.
   
   Question 4 requires you to write a simple program from scratch. Keep it
   simple, about 10 lines or so.
   
   You should be able to finish the tutorial questions in under an hour. 
   
2. Solutions to Set 2 are available from the Math3076/3976 Web Page,
   Part2: Numerical Methods. 
   Programming solutions are also available on rome:   
   cpi $mc3nm/set2q1.ans set2q1.ans
   cpi $mc3nm/set2q2.ans set2q2.ans
   cpi $mc3nm/set2q3.ans set2q3.ans
   This is useful if you wish to run solution programs yourself. Copy the
   program to a .f90 file, compile and run.
