Numerical Linear Algebra

Matrix factorizations, conditioning, least squares, eigenvalue problems, and modern computational methods.

Overview

This course develops the mathematical and computational foundations of numerical linear algebra, with attention to stability, conditioning, efficient implementation, and the structure of large-scale problems.

Topics

  • Orthogonal factorizations and least-squares problems
  • Eigenvalue and singular-value computations
  • Conditioning, stability, and backward error
  • Iterative and randomized methods for large problems
