Baptism by Fire.

So, if the Columbia web-site is correct, I am teaching a graduate course on numerical analysis during the Fall semester. Now, this may be a good thing in general, but given that it is my first course to run on my own, it is a bit intimidating. Not to mention, the last thing I would call myself is a numerical analyst. However, as I took a similar course that was taught rather well, hopefully I can draw on that experience and those references to begin designing something worthwhile this summer. Still, in the immortal words of Wile E. Coyote ... Yikes!
