miscellaneous for week of Nov 5

Hi

The homework due next week is posted.

The third project, on image compression using the
SVD, is posted. I have it due on the Wed before
Thanksgiving, but we can talk about this.
There is no lecture on Wed 11/21, but I can
come in and open the classroom to help you
finish it off if you like.

I will talk some about rootfinding before finishing up
with iterative methods. In terms of sections of the book,
I will finish with 5.3 and 5.4 today, and will at the least start 6.1
on Friday; I'll come back to 5.5.

For blogging, doing 6.1 for Friday would be good.
If you haven't already, 5.4 by then will be ok too.
6.2 for Monday will be good also.

The second exam for the course will be on Monday,
November 19th. More about the exam later.
