The text is brand new: Introduction to Scientific Computing , by C.
Van Loan (Computer Science Department, Cornell University), Prentice-Hall,
hence there is a growing
list of errata for the text; also the text
may be supplemented here and there by
additional material (12sep, 19sep,
24sep, 26sep, 01oct, 08oct, 10oct, 15oct, 17oct, 29oct).
All the m-files mentioned in the book are
available, organized by chapter. Be aware, though, that, on the
ftp site
mentioned in the book as well as here, all their names begin with a capital
letter while, sometimes, their name in the book begins with lower case
letter.
