Lab/course information

Lab 1: Introduction to Numerical Methods

• To run the executable IPython notebook, open a terminal window, change to the folder containing your cloned numeric repository and cd to the lab1 folder. Then start IPython by typing:

  ipython notebook 01-lab1.ipynb
  

  This will launch your browser with the notebook as demonstrated in class.

• If you want to read the lab offline, here are:

  • An html copy of the IPython notebook
  • A pdf copy of the IPython notebook

• After you have gone through the lab, answer the following questions:

  • :ref:`assign1`

Lab 2: Stability and accuracy

• The notebook is checked into git at 01-lab2.ipynb Change to your cloned numeric folder and type "git pull" in a command window to update your repository and fetch it
• If you want to read the lab offline, here are:
  • An html copy of the IPython notebook
  • A pdf copy of the IPython notebook
• Assignment: both graduate students and undergraduates should do all five problems (Error, Accuracy, Stability, Backward-Euler, Taylor). Email paustin@eos.ubc.ca with a url pointing to the notebook containing your answers for the programming questions. The deriviations can be done as a scanned pdf or as plain paper or a pdf file.
