Goal:
To understand the different "rules of differentiation", for example for the power functions x^r, sums and products, and for composite and inverse functions. Further, to understand Newtons method, both for a scalar equation and systems of equations.
Reading:
AMB&S chap 24 and 25.
Excercises:
24.1, 24.2, 24.4 hint: use the fact that 2^(x+h)-2^x=2^x(2^h-1) (why?), 24.5.
Goal:
Understanding that computer arithmetic is not exact, and how this relates
for example to computations of derivatives.
To learn how to use matlab to handle linear systems of equations.
