13 Feb GE-FixedPoint.mw Maple worksheet to illustrate the effects of the number of digits in the mantissa of a fixed-point implementation of Gauss elimination with partial pivoting for a Hilbert matrix
15 Feb HarmonicSum.mw Maple worksheet that illustrates the non-associativity of floating-point arithmetic by computing partial sums of the harmonic series by adding the terms in decreasing and increasing order

Notes:

  • MATLAB scripts (.m files) should be downloaded to your local computer (I recommend creating a folder called, say, MATLAB-files.) Then, from within MATLAB, under the File menu, select Run Script ... and Browse to the location where you save the .m file; select the script and click OK. All output will appear in your MATLAB window.
  • Portable Document Format (PDF) files are viewable with acroread, a publicly available PDF viewer by Adobe.
  • PostScript (PS) files are viewable with ghostview, the public domain PS viewer.

    • If you have any questions, please send e-mail to meade@math.sc.edu
