Fall 1998 Numerical Analysis Class Formats
Here is the full list of the class formats
(worksheets), in order they were presented, with a short title describing what
each one covers. The files I have available are in TeX, DVI, postscript
and PDF (portable document format).
The format is number-date.xxx,
where number is the 2-digit number of the worksheet, date
is the date it was distributed and xxx is the file format type.
