News & Announcements

05/02 I just posted final exam grades as well as final course averages.
      Your letter grade for the course can be found in the comment on
      your final average.

      If you would like to look over your exam, I will keep them around
      for at least a year (probably much longer than that). Feel free to
      send me an email and arrange a time to look over it.

      If you ever have any questions about this class, other math classes,
      or whatever, my door is open. Stop by anytime (even just to say "Hi"). 

      I hope you all have a great summer!

04/26 Final Exam Review Sheet

      The final exam will review material from all 4 tests. For details
      about they cover, look at the test annoucements below...

04/14 As discussed in class, Test #4 has been moved to Thursday, April 21st.

      The test covers sections 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 7.1 & 7.2.
      Here is a list of relevant review problems coming from 
      old exams...
      
        Fall 2008 -- Test #3: 3,4,5

      Spring 2008 -- Exam #2: 5,6

        Fall 2006 -- Exam #2: 3,7

      Summer 2006 -- Exam #2: 4,6,9
                  Final Exam: 9

      Some material isn't represented among the above review problems.
      In particular, there isn't much about coordinate matrices and
      chapter 6 material. To help -- here is a list of relevant handouts 
      from Fall 2008:
      
      Coordinate Matrix Handout
      Kernel, Range, & Composition Handout
      Eigen-Theory Handout
      Eigenproject and Answer Key

04/11 Brief Introduction to Linear Algebra in Maple
      
      Homework (.mw) due the last day of class.
      
      You do not have to complete these problems in Maple.
      You're welcome to use Matlab or whatever else you 
      want. 
      
      Just be aware, these problems are set up to be done in
      Maple. 
      
      Also, please turn in a copy of whatever Maple, Matlab,
      etc. code you use to get your answers.
      
04/04 Test #3 and Quiz #4 grades have been posted on AsULearn.

      I will hand back tests tomorrow. Please correct the parts
      of the problems that you got wrong and turn in your 
      corrections next Tuesday. Correct corrections will get 
      you some points back on your test.
      
      For a fresh copy of the test go here.

03/25 Test #3 is Tuesday. It covers chapter 4 plus section 6.1.
      Here is a list of relevant review problems coming from 
      old exams...

        Fall 2008 -- Test #2: 3,4,5
                     Test #3: 1,2,5(a)

                     Exam #2: 2,7,8
                  Final Exam: 3

      I think these review problems cover just about everything. 
      If you feel comfortable with them, the test will be a piece
      of cake.

      at 10am, we will meet from 10-10:45am.
