Course description

The original idea for the present course comes from Nick Trefethen, University of Oxford (see the webpage 
https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/trefethen/classics.html for details). 

The main goal of the course is to present classic papers in the general field of numerical analysis.
In order to get 7.5 credit points, each participant must

present at least one paper, 

prepare a short written report (1-2 pages) for the other participants, where the authors, the results and the main ideas of the paper are presented. This should be sent out ca. 5 days prior to the presentation,  

be active in participating in all presentations.

Depending on the number of participants, one could imagine having the course once a week or every two weeks.

The definitive schedule will be decided with the participants input.
