The notes are being extensively revised. The major revisions are: (1) substantial correction of errors. (2) Incorporation of many more examples (and removal of examples that, although attributed to the original author, are not original). (3) Restructuring of the course material. (4) Making greater use of hyperlinks in order to reduce the complexity of the notes while at the same time making the cross references a useful feature of the text. (5) Changing the notes to PDF format. These notes were never intended to be public, but the wonders of the web have made this academic now. This is a work in progress, and as such, it is bound to have many errors, primarily of typographic nature. We would be delighted to hear from you, if these notes have been of any use to you. We are particularly interested in receiving corrections and suggestions.
The original set of notes was used in teaching the year sequence in numerical analysis. In July 2001, I was joined by Prof. Rob Indik, and Ms. Emily Lane, in the writing/editing/use of the notes...their input and their hard work will surely produce a better set of notes and will greatly reduce errors and omissions of my own creation, which are part of the original set of notes....Juan Restrepo
