Overview
Description
Numerical linear algebra is at the intersection of numerical analysis and linear algebra and has many applications in mathematics, science and engineering. Its purpose is the design and analysis of algorithms for the numerical solution of matrix problems including their stability. Writing proofs and computer algorithms are required.
