\item Section 4.9: Study the reason of loss of accuracy for improper integrals. Study how to predict and how to verify numerically the reduced order of convergence and the cure to restore theoretical order of convergence. \item Section 6.1: Study how to count the number of operations to leading order efficiently both for Gaussian elimination and backward substitution. Do this both for full matrices and sparse matrices such as those in Homework 13. \item Section 6.1: Practice programming for Gaussian elimination (without pivoting) and backward substitution. \item Section 6.2: Study how to perform partial pivoting and scaled pivoting manually for small matrices. \item Section 6.5: Study how to perform $LU$ decomposition with or without pivoting manually for small matrices. \item Section 6.5: Study how Gaussian elimination or $LU$ decomposition can be used to evaluate the determinant of a matrix.
