Syllabus and Course Information
Recitations meet on Tuesdays.
You must enroll in a specific section. Your homework and exams will go to that section. Default recitation sections are assigned by the Registrar. You may change your recitation and view your grades on Stellar Course Management System.
Homework will be posted weekly in the Problem Sets section of the class website. Assignments will be due on Thursdays, BEFORE 4PM. Please put them in the box for your section in 2-106, next to the Undergraduate Mathematics Office. Please staple them (you may use the UMO stapler). They are due every week and are returned in recitation. Late homework will not be accepted and no extension are granted.
The homeworks are essential in learning linear algebra. They are not a test and you are encouraged to talk to other students about difficult problems---after you have found them difficult. Talking about linear algebra is healthy. But you must write your own solutions.
The course will have three one-hour exams at class times on Monday March 1, Wednesday April 7, and Friday May 7. The use of calculators or notes is not permitted during the exams.
Concerns about homework, grading, exams: see your recitation instructor.
