On page 12, for 1d unit interval problem why dim(A)=1/h? rather than 1/h+1?

Fair question -- I should have said
dim(A) = (1/h)+1 \approx 1/h
In most of numerical analysis, we really are only interested in asymptotic
statements "if h is very small" or "if N is large". In those cases,
1/h
and
1/h + 1
are the same.
