Lectures: |
Monday-Friday, 10:30-11:20 a.m., Savery Hall 315 |
Required Texts: |
Introduction to Linear Algebra by Johnson, Riess, and Arnold (5th ed., Addison-Wesley, 2002), and Calculus: One and Several Variable by Salas and Hille (9th ed., Wiley, 2003) |
Prerequisites: |
2.0 in Math 135 or the equivalent. |
Exams: |
1st Midterm: Friday, April 22, in
class. |
Grading: |
Your course grade will be based on homework, two midterms, and a final, each of these ingredients accounting for 1/3 of the final grade. Assignments will be given weekly (see the schedule below), and all problems turned in will be graded this term. If you must miss a test due to illness or emergency, I would very much appreciate advance notice. In all tests you may use two letter-sized pages (one sheet front and back of notes in your own handwriting). |
Incompletes and Drops: |
The grade of Incomplete will be given ONLY if a student has been doing satisfactory work until the end of the quarter and then misses the final exam for a documented illness, religious reason, or family emergency. |
What to Expect: |
This quarter we will change direction from Math 135 and spend the greater part of our time on linear algebra, a subject which seems at first glance to have nothing to do with calculus but in fact has many deep connections to it. It is also every bit as useful and applicable as calculus. Some time after the middle of the term we will return to Salas-Hille and finish up the material on multivariable calculus. |
