Topics for the Final Exam

The final exam will take place from 8:00-10:30 on Tuesday, June 9. The final will be comprehensive, and will cover all sections up through 12.3.

For the final you should review the topics I have already posted for the first and second midterms, and then also review these new topics:

• Newton's method and steepest descent for nonlinear systems of equations
• Shooting method for boundary value problems
• Method of finite differences for boundary value problems
• Method of finite differences for PDEs

I will allow you to bring two pages of notes to the exam.
