Comments: Q1. Most did well. But some forgot pivoting. Remeber to use LU to calculate x instead of calculating inverse of matrix. Q2. Only few students got all right. Many forgot the n flops from computing (b2 - b1). Q3. Most did well. Q4. You should have right reasonning to tell the significant digits. Q5. A lot of minor errors occurred in computing those values. But most came up with the right arguments. Q6. Most students had a correct algorithm but less efficient. Some didn't test the programs for matrix A which is specified by the question. Q7. Not too bad. But a lot of students didn't provide derivation of the Jacobian matrix. Zheng.
