 Numerical linear algebra is the science of solving systems of linear equations $Ax=b$ and the eigenvalue problem $A v = \lambda v$ on a digital computer --problems are at the root of the vast bulk of scientific computation. Compared to classical linear algebra, the finite precision and computational cost of numerical mathematics brings in a number of important new concepts, including conditioning,​ stability, and accuracy, and efficiency. We will develop these ideas and learn the most important numerical linear algebra algorithms: QR, LU, SVD decompositions,​ Gramm-Schmidt orthogonalization,​ the QR eigenvalue algorithm, and Krylov subspace methods. Time permitting, we will also study key algorithms for function optimization and the solution of systems of nonlinear equations. Numerical linear algebra is the science of solving systems of linear equations $Ax=b$ and the eigenvalue problem $A v = \lambda v$ on a digital computer --problems are at the root of the vast bulk of scientific computation.
