- Instructor
- Instructor: Alberto Chiecchio
Office hours (in my office): MW 11:30-12:20

E-mail: chieca@math.washington.edu
- Textbooks
- The textbook is Introduction to Linear Algebra by Johnson, Riess and Arnold, 5th ed.
- Office hours
- As written above, office hours are yet to be decided.
Since we have no quiz sections, the office hours on are a good moment for you to ask questions about the homework.
- Homework
- Homework is generally collected on Fridays, and you can find it on the calendar.
Since there are no quiz sections, you should think of the homework as the equivalent. Doing the homework - making your hands dirty with computations - is as important as studying.
Beware that the homework on the calendar can change (up to a week before its due day), so that you should keep checking.
- Quizzes
- During the quarter, there will be three quizzez. Each one will be of around 30 minutes. You will be allowed to bring a scientific calculator (NOT a graphic one), and a one handwritten sheet of notes (one-page).
The first quiz will be on Friday, April 12th.
The second quiz will be on Friday, May 17th.
The third quiz will be on Friday, May 31st.
- Exams
- There will be one midterm and one final exam. All exams will only be on materials we have seen in the lectures (unless otherwise stated). This means that you do not have to worry about learning formulas in the textbook unless I mention them in class. On the other hand, in the lectures I may mention a result not in the textbook, and you will be expected to know that result.
There are no make-up exams. If you have a compelling, unavoidable, and well-documented reason for missing an exam, talk with me as soon as possible.
For all exams, you can bring a scientific calculator, but NOT a graphic one. One handwritten sheet of notes is also allowed (two-sided). And remember to bring your student ID.
The midterm will be on Friday, May 3rd, in class, and will cover up to section 3.3.
The final will be on Wednesday, June 12th, 8:30-10:20, in THO 119 (the usual room).
- Grades
- The final grade will be based on homework, quizzes and exams, in the following proportion:
Homework 10% Quizzes 10% (each) Midterm 25% Final 35%
