Course Guide

Textbook:

Gilbert Strang: An Introduction to Linear Algebra, Wellesley-Cambridge Press, 3rd edition.

Homework will be mostly taken out of this book, and it will serve as the main reference for the lectures.

Homework:

Homework is an extremely important part of this course. Homework problems will be posted on this page every Tuesday. They should be turned in in the Beginning of the class on Tuesday of the following week. Extra credit problems will be available sometimes. I will automatically drop your worst 2 homework scores

You may work together in small groups of your own choosing on these problems, although each student's write-up should be his/her own. On each assignment you hand in, write down the names of anyone you collaborated with.
