Traditionell sind die Aufgaben in Lehrbüchern für Berechnungen von Hand ausgerichtet. Verwendet man Computer, so muss nicht mehr darauf geachtet werden, dass die Rechnungen einfach und möglichst mit ganzen Zahlen durchgeführt werden können. Wirzeigen, dass die Anwendung von Givensrotationen (Drehmatrizen) zuneuen, oft einfacheren Algorithmen führt. Diese Givensrotationen sind zwar geometrisch anschaulich, aber ungeeignet für Handrechnungen, weil zu aufwändig.  Dem Computer ist es aber egal, ob er mit ganzen Zahlen oder mit 10-stelligen Dezimalbrüchen rechnet!</div><div class="event_time">17:15 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 19.1</div>        </div>        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_zh"><a class="external" href="https://ethz.ch">ETH Z&uuml;rich</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://math.ethz.ch/s/talks-in-financial-and-insurance-mathematics">Talks in Financial and Insurance Mathematics</a></div><br /><div class="event_title">Title T.B.A.</div><div class="event_time">17:15 &bull; ETH Zentrum, R&auml;mistrasse 101, Z&uuml;rich, Building HG, Room G 43</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>    <div class="day">      <div class="day_title">        Friday, November 8      </div>      <div class="day_content">        <div class="day_content_item normal"><div class="event_location uni_la"><a class="external" href="https://www.epfl.ch">EPF Lausanne</a></div><div class="event_type"><a class="external" href="https://www.unil.ch/dsa/en/home/menuinst/seminaires--evenements/research-seminars.html">Talks in Actuarial Mathematics </a></div><br /><div class="event_speaker"> Lewis De Felice (University of Melbourne, Australia)</div><div class="event_title">Title T.B.A.</div><div class="event_time">11:00 &bull; EPF Lausanne</div>        </div>      </div>    </div>  </div>  <div id="sms_footer">    address: Alessandra Naldi Windler, Departement Mathematik, HG G 51.4, ETH Zurich, Raemistrasse 101, CH-8092 Zurich<br />    email: <a href="mailto:bulletin@math.ch">bulletin@math.ch</a> | phone: +41 44 632 3684 | url: <a href="https://math.ch">https://math.ch</a>    <br /><br /><img src="//www2.math.ethz.ch/smsjs/sms_logo.gif" width="150" alt="SMS/SMG Logo" title="SMS/SMG Logo" />  </div></div>';
