Project

• The project will count for 30% of the final grade. If it is not handed in you may still take the final exam, but your score is limited to 70% of your final exam score.
• As the class registration of exam for this course is large so you have to work in groups of 4 to 5 person.
• There will be extra exercise sessions on Fridays, week 11-17, both for the exercises and the project.
• I have used ordinary Gaussian elimination since all matrices are symmetric and positive definite, and it worked. If it does not work well for you, you can try Scaled Partial Pivoting.
• 31.03: Typo in exercise 1 f). There should be GS, not GE. A corrected version is uploaded.
• 20.04: Exercise 2 has been changed! A corrected version is uploaded
• 26.04: Last project guidance at Nullrommet, Tomorrow 27.04.2017, 12.15-14.00.

There are a lot of different LaTeX document editors out there. A good option which is free, cross-platform, and quite user friendly is Texmaker.
