I'm looking for a text for a Numerical Analysis course I'm proposing. I saw Dana Ernst's post two years ago, and wonder what the field is like today.
I expect to have eight to twelve students. Some will have had Linear and/or DiffEq, but I want to open it to anyone who's had Calc II. For programming, the students will have had a semester of either C++ or Python, probably not both, so a text that a student could use in either language would be ideal. A text that explicitly incorporates Sage would be great. I'd prefer a text that points out opportunities for parallel computation. We have a LittleFe cluster for the classroom, and students can get accounts on the LONI network. We plan to build Sage on our cluster. "Free" would be best, but not essential if something fabulous is out there. The course will be "terminal" in that it would not be a prerequisite for any other course at our high school, so the topics and depth are flexible. Suggestions? Comments? Pearls of Wisdom?
