Notes for ARE 298: Numerical Lab

Class meeting (weekly until further notice): Wednesday 6.10 - 7.30, Room 234 Giannini

Miranda and Fackler is the principle text.  The link to the Miranda & Fackler errata is http://www4.ncsu.edu/~pfackler/compecon/Errata.html. 

You may also want to investigate AMPL.  Here is the information on the AMPL textbook:
AMPL: A Modeling Language for Mathematical Programming
Robert Fourer, David M. Gay and Brian W. Kernighan
Duxbury Press/Brooks/Cole Publishing Company
Second Edition
2003
This book  is currently available on the “New Books Shelf" in the Giannini Library..

The website for AMPL is http://www.ampl.com/.  Students can go here to download a student version of the software.  It is limited to a certain number of variables, but is sufficient for solving all of the problems in the book.

A website with most of the course notes for a summer workshop on numerical methods, run by Ken Judd et al.: http://ice.uchicago.edu/program.htm.  It is actually the daily schedule, but any of the presentation titles in black font link to the presentation slides, which are generally quite detailed.
