PROGRAM

Main Course (20 hrs)
Title: Numerical Linear Algebra for Discrete Ill-Posed Problem.
Instructor: Lothar Reichel, Kent State University, USA.
Timetable: Monday to Friday, 9:00-12:30

Abstract
It is the aim of this course to provide the background of Numerical Linear Algebra needed to successfully
solve discrete ill-posed problems. Exercises, that include programming in MATLAB, complement the course.
