However, Magnus R. Hestenes published a later paper "The Conjugate-gradient Method for Solving Linear Systems" in Proceedings of Symposia in Applied Mathematics, volume VI, 1956 which contains some modifications and extensions of the earlier paper. The American Mathematical Society publishes PSAM and this volume is still available. Check the AMS web page: www.ams.org for further details. An excellent tutorial on the conjugate-gradient method written by Jonathan Richard Shewchuk in August 1994 is available at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~jrs. Brent L.

There is a very good intro to CG methods by Jonathan Shewchuk: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~quake-papers//painless-conjugate-gradient.ps.gz It gives you the ideas behind it, not only the formulas. The mere iteration steps can be found, for example, in D. Braess, Finite Elements (?). -- Volker W. Elling (http://lemming.stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~elling)
