I just submitted final grades. If you have any questions about your grade, mathematics, or anything else, don't hesitate to ask!

Merry Christmas!!!

Note: You have keys from homework and tests, and I left up the last class's exams with keys. These should be of help when studying for the comprehensive (for those who have to take it).

Details about FINAL PROJECTS.

We will soon embark on a tour of inner product space theory, so an old handout and a new:
Gram Schmidt (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)]
Basic inner product space definitions (.pdf) [Source: (.tex)] -- UPDATED

10/28
Big Quiz next Friday (November 4th).
It will cover basic vector space, subspace, linear independence, spanning, linear transformation, coordinate, and coordinate matrix stuff.
