Exercise numbers refer to Richard Burden and J. Douglas Faires, Numerical Analysis, 9th Edition Brooks/Cole/Cengage Learning, 2010.

All of the algorithms in the book have been implemented and may be downloaded from the Authors' web site at this link. You may use any of these programs for your homework, or may write programs of your own. Regardless of which programs you use, clearly indicate on the problem solution which program you used, and include copies of the programs you use and print out all output (including intermediate results files if they exist) with the material you turn in.

After a solution set has been posted the maximum grade for an assignment is 50%.
