Book website: http://tobydriscoll.net/fnc/ New codes: https://github.com/tobydriscoll/fnc-extras/julia The codes cover at an advanced undergraduate level the basics of dense matrix factorizations, rootfinding and nonlinear least-squares, interpolation, initial-value problems, EVD and SVD, Krylov iterations, boundary-value problems, and the method of lines for PDEs. The Julia codes adopt some of the more important language features, such as comprehensions, but they are largely vanilla transliterations of the original MATLAB codes. They do call on some well-established packages such as Interpolations and DifferentialEquations as complements to the basic algorithms presented. The examples do not include the context from the text but should be typically understandable to experienced computational scientists. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Pamela Bye [log in to unmask] Date: February 08, 2019 Subject: IMA Early Career Mathematicians, UK, Mar 2019 IMA Early Career Mathematicians' Spring Conference 2019 Saturday 2 March 2019, Lancaster University Do you want to get more involved with the IMA?
