Reading material
Of the reading materials listed below, I strongly recommend that you buy the book by Saad, but not necessarily any of the other ones.

- L.N. Trefethen and D. Bau: Numerical Linear Algebra, SIAM, 1997.
- J.W. Demmel, Applied Numerical Linear Algebra, SIAM, 1997 .

- W. L. Briggs, V.E. Henson, S.F. Mc Cormick: A multigrid tutorial, SIAM, 2000.
Exercises
Solutions
Solutions may appear even before the time when the exercise is supposed to be done. It is however strongly recommended to do the exercise before looking at the solution.
