 +Numerical linear algebra is the science of solving systems of linear equations $Ax=b$ and the eigenvalue problem ​
 +$A v = \lambda v$ on a digital computer --problems are at the root of the vast bulk of scientific computation. ​
 +Compared to classical linear algebra, the finite precision and computational cost of numerical mathematics brings in a number
 +of important new concepts, including conditioning,​ stability, and accuracy, and efficiency. We will develop these
 +ideas and learn the most important numerical linear algebra algorithms: QR, LU, SVD decompositions,​ Gramm-Schmidt ​
 +orthogonalization,​ the QR eigenvalue algorithm, and Krylov subspace methods. Time permitting, we will also study
 +key algorithms for function optimization and the solution of systems of nonlinear equations.
