Text: Linear Algebra with Applications, Steven Leon, 8th edition

Please note the following guidelines for the course:

Description: Systems of linear equations, matrices, linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Efficient computational methods emphasized.

Prerequisite: (163 or 181) and CS 151L

Grades: The final grade will be determined by homework & quizzes (100 points), two midterms (100 points each) and a final exam (200 points).  All grades will be posted on WebCT.

 

Homework:  Homework is due every Monday at the beginning of class. There will be one HW weekly or a quiz. Additional MATLAB projects will be added to the below list of homework problems. You can work together on the homework, but you do need to write up your own solutions in your own words. To help the grader, please write your solutions up neatly and clearly (no points for work that the reader cannot follow- this is also true for exams), and staple the sheets.   The best twelve homework/quiz grades only will be counted for a possible maximum total scaled to 100pts. Please do not turn in late homework.

 

Missed Exams:  Make-up exams can be arranged for exams missed with a VALID excuse (illness, family emergency, active participation in scholarly or athletic activities), and ONLY if prior notice is given. 

 

Disability Statement: We will accommodate students with documented disabilities. During the first two weeks of the semester, those students should inform the instructor of their particular needs and they should also contact Accessibility Services in Mesa Vista Hall, Room 2021, phone 277-3506.  In addition, they should see CATS- Counseling and Therapy Services; Student Health Center (277-4537). (They can help if you suffer from exam anxiety).
