In this class we will study some basic skills in linear algebra. The best
way to learn mathematics is to DO it . That means attending the
class regularly; carefully studying the material covered in class; studying the
solved problems in the book; diligently doing all the homework prob-
lems, and more if time permits, showing all work and steps as
shown in class; reviewing the material covered in class regularly;
and reading ahead. It helps to read (study! ) the sections to be discussed
before coming to class! It will save you a lot of time if you study your class
notes before you start doing your homework. You will understand mathe-
matics a lot better if you have paper and pencil at hand and keep the pencil
moving while studying mathematics! The pace in the summer session is much
faster than that in a regular semester, so you cannot aord to miss class or
fall behind schedule.
Your grade will be based on three in-class exams, each worth 100 points.
Homework will be assigned in class and collected just about every Thursday
for grading. Calculators will neither be needed nor allowed on the exams.
I wish that all of you enjoy this class!
(i) There will be no make-up for any exam so make sure you take your
exams at the scheduled times. Under no circumstances will any student
be allowed to take any exam earlier than scheduled.
(ii) Any questions about the grading of any of the midterm exams must be
brought to the attention of the instructor within one week of the day
the exam is handed back.
