| Brief course description: Solutions to linear systems of equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, matrices, determinants. |
| Prerequisites: Calculus I, II, III; familiarity with understanding and writing proofs, as for instance in Math 215, is strongly recommended. |
| Homework: Weekly homework assignments will be posted on this page each Wednesday, and they are due in class the following Wednesday. Please write your solutions clearly and carefully. If you have to miss class that day, you can turn in your assignment early to my box in SEO 304. Late homework will not be accepted. The lowest score will be dropped at the end of the semester. |
| Collaboration: You are encouraged to discuss homework problems with your fellow students. However, you have to write up your solutions by yourselves and show originality. |
| Exams and Grading: We will have a midterm exam (Friday, October 15, during regular class time) and a final exam (Friday, December 10, 10:30-12:30, usual classroom). Students are expected to be present for both exams. Makeup exams will only be given in case of a verifiable emergency or a formal request by the UIC atheletic department. Do not schedule travel on an exam date. The midterm and the homework will each count as 30% of your grade. The final exam will count as 40% of your grade. In order to pass the course, you must pass the final exam. |
