RATIONALE:
Linear algebra is an essential cornerstones of mathematics. Its powerful tools are applied
in virtually every area of pure and applied mathematics. A strong foundation in linear
algebra is essential for success in every mathematical endeavor.
Throughout this course you will encounter many new theoretical ideas and a wide range of
practical applications. Working with applications helps to solidify your theoretical
understanding, strengthen your computational skill, and build your self-confidence.
OBJECTIVES:
2
COMMENTS:
This course begins with a review of Linear Algebra I. After the fundamentals are well in
hand, well move on to the new topics in the course. Lectures during the review period
include a brief discussion of the Review Topic (RT) followed by an application (APP).
Your two texts provide somewhat different expositions of each topic. Its important to read
both expositions carefully, take notes, flag points that seem difficult to understand, and
bring your questions from the reading to class for discussion. You will find that one
exposition often makes more sense to you than the other. Thats good! Play one off
against the other
UNDERSTANDINGS:
1. You are expected to attend all classes and complete all assigned work on time.
2. You may work together on problem sets, however you must write up your solutions
independently.
3. Exams missed for the following reasons may be made up:
a. Illness documented by campus infirmary or family physician
b. Death of a family member
c. Out-of-classroom educational experiences*
d. University athletic contests*
e. Religious holidays*
*Requires advance notification
