Textbook: Linear
algebra and its applications, 3rd edition, by David
Lay
Supplemental text: Study guide to Linear Algebra and its
Applications, 3rd edition, by David Lay
Course material. This is the second half of the Linear Algebra
sequence and will cover chapters 5, 6 and 7 of the textbook. We will do more
applications in this part of the course, and it might appear to be harder than
the first part.
Prerequisite: Math 341.
Discussion section (quiz section). Discussion section (Tuesday) will consist of
discussing homework and of 15-20 minute quizzes, which will be given every other week except for the midterm week starting with the second week of
classes. More specifically, there will be quizzes on January 13th, 27st, February 24th and March 9th.
Active participation in discussion is highly recommended. Extra (bonus) points
will be given for volunteering to work out homework problems on the blackboard.
They will accumulate towards your total quiz score.
Homework. Your homework assignment will be collected on
Wednesday before class. Late homework will NOT be accepted! If you cannot make
it to class that day, try to arrange for someone else to hand in your homework.
It is vital to do the homework to do well in class. You are encouraged to
cooperate with other people when doing your homework, or have group studies. At
the same time, the homework that you hand in must be done and completely
understood by YOU. To encourage you to do so quizzes will be based heavily on
homework material.
Exams. There will be one midterm exam on Tuesday, February 10th. The Final exam is scheduled for Friday, March 19th,
Make-up. No make-up for quizzes. Make-up for the
midterm may be given in case of illness or other extraordinary documented
circumstances. Note that make-up will be scheduled during regular class-time
and will definitely be harder than the original exam.
Grades.
The lowest quiz and
homework score will be dropped.
Homework = 10%
Quizzes = 20%
Midterm = 30%
Final = 40%
Active participation
in discussion section = extra
credit towards the total quiz score
