Canvas: The course will use Canvas for all material during the semester. All enrolled students should have automatic access to the site after logging in to Canvas. Current information about syllabus, homework assignments and exams will be found there.


Some General Comments: We will mostly use Linear algebra and its applications by Gilbert Strang, Belmont, CA : Thomson, Brooks/Cole, 2006, 4th ed. ISBN : 9780030105678, but may use other sources when appropriate.

It is assumed that students have had some prior experience with basic matrix operations. The course will do a quick review on the material dealing with basic matrix operations. Some review/practice problems on basic linear algebra material have been posted in the course canvas site.


Homework Assignments and Grading Policy: The grade for the course will be based on a combination of graded homework problems and quizzes, up to two midterm exams and a final exam (possibly with a component of a project/presentation). Here is the break up:
