No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1976–77 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Direct methods for the numerical solution of linear systems of equations and linear least squares problems. Numerical methods for solving the algebraic eigenvalue problem.
As printed in the 1991–92 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
Requirements, as last listed
