Beginning 'Beginning Scientific Computing'

This is where the document Beginning 'Beginning Scientific Computing' lives. The goal is to serve as an introduction to topics needed for the AMATH301 course at the University of Washington. In particular, it will cover the basic matrix theory, Taylor series, and other topics to help you succeed in this course.

So far, this is a work in progress. Please forgive the mess and the errors. These notes are not meant to supplant the excellent notes by J.N. Kutz used for this course, but to fill in some material you might have missed.

Here are the notes in progress:

• Basic Matrix Theory
• Taylor Series Reference
• Big Oh Notation

Solved problems and additional notes:

• Jacobi and Gauss-Seidel Methods and Implementation
