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.

Course Text
The course text is Linear Algebra Done Right, by Sheldon Axler. We shall follow its syllabus fairly closely, although I may sometimes supplement it with other materials.

When is homework due? Can I turn it in late?
Homework will be due on Thursday in my mailbox, by 9 pm (when the building will be locked). You can also hand it in during class. No late homework will be accepted. I'll ignore one of the problem sets, so save that for when you fall ill, or have an especially busy time. If you do all the problem sets, I'll drop the lowest score.
