(with John Rossi) A Fresh Approach to the Singular
Value Decomposition, College Mathematics Journal, 29, 3,
May 1998, 199--207.
Based on Singular Value Decomposition Made Easy
(140K, uncompressed postscript), a talk given at ICTCM in Reno, Nevada,
November 1996, and at MAA regional meeting in Atlanta, March 1997.
You'll also need a single picture (24K,
uncompressed postscript) that goes with it. This material grew out of an
ATLAST Linear Algebra workshop in Seattle in August 1996.
See Linear Algebra for further information.
Plotting and Scheming with Wavelets (select
uncompressed postscript
or uncompressed PDF),
Mathematics Magazine (Vol 69, No 5, December 1996, 323-343), a
publication of the Mathematical Association of America.
Note: The above files incorporate some minor corrections to the published
MAA version; see the Errata page for details.
"Plotting and Scheming with Wavelets" was awarded a 1996
Carl B. Allendoerfer
Award (for articles of expository excellence) by the MAA at MathFest '97
in Atlanta, August 1997.
See Wavelets for further information on wavelets.
"The Basic Curves and Surfaces of Computer Aided Geometric Design" (select
uncompressed postscript
or uncompressed PDF),
Special Engineering Issue of Maple Tech, Vol 3, No 1, April 1996, 65-73,
published by Birkhäuser/Springer.
