Text: Linear Algebra and its Applications 2nd Edition (updated) by David C. Lay, Addison-Wesley,
2000.
Office Hours: Mon/Th 1:25-2:25PM math lab, 130/132 Science Building*
Tu 4:00-5:00PM math lab, 130/132 Science Building*
Other times by
arrangement
* If the math lab is crowded; that is, if I can't find a place to sit, I will hold office hours in my office, CU-Denver Building, Room 622. If this becomes the case, I will announce the move.
We
will cover the following sections:
1.1-1.8, 2.1-2.5, 4.1-4.7, 5.1-5.3,
6.1-6.5, 6.7 and 7.1.
Note:
If we finish these sections, we will cover 5.4, 5.5 and 7.4 as time
permits. We will not be skipping
determinants, but instead do a quick coverage in section 5.2. This material represents the basic core
topics and those most important in applications. In order to cover it all, we will have to average a little better
than one section per class. There are
several nice sections on a variety of applications (1.9, 2.7, 2.8, 4.8, 4.9,
5.6, 5.7, 6.6, 6.8, and 7.5). These are assigned as optional reading
assignments, but will not be covered in class or on exams. However, there will be a project report
(between 5-10 pages) on one of these applications or some other application of
your choice. This paper is to be turned
in at the latest by May 4th at 5:00PM, but you can turn it in
whenever you want before that.
The
lectures, material in the book, exams and quizzes will contain a mixture of
theory and computations. The beauty of
this subject is the way that the theoretical and the computational components
interact.
Students
are encouraged to work together in cooperative groups on the take-home quizzes
and the project. Each person must turn
in quizzes and project report.
The
quiz and exam due dates are as follows.
Quizzes will be assigned on Wednesdays and be due on the following
Monday though it can always be turned in on the Wednesday without contacting
me. However, if you can’t get the quiz
in by Wednesday, please contact me beforehand via any means with an appropriate
excuse. Unless otherwise noted, all
problems on quizzes are worth the same number of points. That is, if there are 3 problems, then each
problem is worth 20/3 points. Show all work on exams, quizzes and the project
sufficient for me to understand how your solutions were obtained. Exam dates are firm, and if you have a
problem, please contact me beforehand.
