Final Exam format

The format of the exam will be much like the midterm. There will be a "quick" problem section, and a proof section. It will of course be longer, roughly in proportion to the extra time.

The material covered will be up to the end of Chapt 8.

Office Hours this week

Ill be in my office from 11:30 - 2:30 tommorow. Bezirgen will have office hours from 12-3 on Tuesday.

HW 8

As I mentioned in class, since this is dead week while I have decided to assign home work this week I am going to drop the lowest 2 HW grades (rather than one). Thus if you wish you may choose not to do this assignment. However you are still responsible for the material.

Homework for week 3

Chapt 3: numbers 14, 21,,25,
Chapt 5: numbers 1,6,8,13,15,16

The midterm will cover the full material from Chapters 1-3. From Chapter 5 you are responsible only for the
above homework's questions. You are responsible for the chapter 4 material on polynomials, but only in the sense that a polynomial may appear at some point in a question and you may need to use one of the facts there (which you presumably knew before you took this class).

Midterm Next Thursday in Class

The midterm will be next Thursday in class. The problems from the first 2 weeks will be of similar difficulty to the exercises in the backs of chapters 1-3. This includes both those exercises assigned to you and those which were not. You will also be tested on the material from the past week. However on this material I will pull questions directly from the coming assignment.

Homework etc ... for week 2

We covered through half of Chapter 3, around page 47.

Your Homework assignment is:

Chapt 2: 15,16
Chapt 3: 1,2,6,10,16,23

Week 1: Home work, and what we covered

We covered Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 up to page 27, the definition of a basis.
Homework: All problems are from the text - Linear Algebra Done Right.

Chapter 1: Problems 1,3,6,7,13
Chapter 2: Problems 3,6,8,12

Warning: Math ahead

This course will be taught quite theoretically, and at a fast pace! As a result, the homework will be heavy too. If you are interested mainly in applications to other fields, or prefer to deal only with concrete objects, you should take Math 103 instead.
