Class notes


Examples:

We ran two examples in class today. The first was a demonstration of the PLU factorization method (Gaussian elimination with pivoting) given here. This, and other matrix solution techniques, are built into the Matlab command "\". The solution procedure it uses to solve a matrix problem depends on the matrices you feed it: a pretty complex algorithm! The second was an exploration of the condition number of a matrix given here.
