24 October: Here are some practice problems and information about your upcoming midterm. Please note: This is not really a sample exam. I have styled the problems in the way I would expect to ask them on an exam, however, a true exam would only have 4 problems (not 10!). I will post solutions as soon as they are available.

16 October: I've begun to post some resources for your upcoming midterm. Please take a look at So, you're having trouble with. . . for some places to turn for topics you may be struggling with. You can also check out Proof Basics for some help on basic proof structure, what your proofs should contain, and other tips for structuring your proofs.

Welcome to Math 308! We will focus in this course on two main topics. The first topic is matrices and their use in solving systems of linear equations. This will include a discussion of rank, inversion, and determinants. The second topic is vector spaces. This will include a discussion of subspaces, dimension, bases, and linear transformations. We will also hilight the connections between these two topics, and various applications of these concepts. The course will end with a discussion of eigenvalues and eigenvectors.
