• The solutions to the practice final are here: final_practice_sol.pdf.
• The solutions to HW5 are here: hw05sol.pdf.

• Here is a practice final exam: final_practice.pdf. We will solve this together on the last day of classes Wed April 27. It is maybe 10-20% longer than the actual final.
• The schedule for the talks is as follows. The order of the talks is up to the speakers. To give all time possible to your classmates, please plan on coming on time on both Monday and Tuesday.
  • Monday 04/25: Tim (Burgers equations), Steven (truncated SVD), Zach (coupling heat equation and bar equation), James (eikonal equation, visibility and other applications)
  • Tuesday 04/26: Christine and Javier (eikonal equation and applications), Quinton (truncated SVD), Katrina (advection diffusion using Lax-Wendroff in 2D), Xiaoshi (differentiation using wavelets)
• There is no need for having slides for your presentation. It is completely OK to bring your numerical experiments as a PDF and present your project on the board.
• I will bring my laptop. If you will be using my laptop for your presentation, I strongly recommend you bring your presentation or plots in PDF (on a USB key, online, etc…). If you decide to use your laptop, come a few minutes earlier to make sure all works well with the projector.

• The applications of SVD we saw were:
  • Face recognition using eigenfaces by Christopher de Coro
