Course Description
Theory of matrices and vector spaces from a concrete, computational point of view. Topics include row reduction, rank and dimension, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, diagonalization of symmetric matrices. An introduction to related computational software may be included Prereq: Math 132.
Textbook & Related Resources
Linear Algebra and Its Applications, by David Lay. This text is well-written and should be read consistently. If you bought the text new at the bookstore, a CD copy of the author's Study Guide should have been included. The Study Guide can be very helpful as you work your way through the course. In particular, read carefully the note on How to Study Linear Algebra at the beginning of the Study Guide.  The Study Guide is useful but optional. Additional material is also available at the Companion Web Site for the text (http://www.laylinalgebra.com/), including review sheets and practice exams from the author and information about related computational software, e.g., Matlab.
Homework

Homework problems will be assigned approximately each week to be handed in. Problem sets should be submitted to the ESE 309 bin outside of the ESE department office, Bryan Hall Room 201. Late homeworks will not be accepted without a legitimate excuse such as illness. 

There will also be a list of recommended problems, not to be handed in.  You should be sure you can do them all and try some others from the text as well.

For hand-in homeworks:
  • The solution of each problem should be written up very clearly and legibly.  For the sake of the grader, be sure your writing is dark enough to be read easily.
  • Solve problems first on scratch paper; then use the scratch work to write your hand-in solution.
  • Always include enough detail so that the reader can determine how you arrived at your answer. Note that answers to some assigned problems will be available at the back of the text.  
  • For each problem, include a problem statement, with the original problem restated in your own words. 
  • Write your solutions as if the intended reader were an average student in the class.
Talking with other students about homework problems is a very good way to learn and is encouraged: BUT each student must write up his or her own homework.  No solutions from two students should look too much alike, i.e., everybody says things in a unique way, makes up notation as needed, etc. If you do collaborate with other students, list all collaborators at the top of the homework assignment.

Exams
We will have two in-class midterm exams, dates to be announced, approximately in early October and mid-November.

Course Grade

Homework - 15%
Midterm exams - 25% each
Final exam - 35%
