\textbf{Office Hours}

20

21
week of class.

23
\textbf{WebAssign/Book}

24


25
We will use \textit{Linear Algebra with Applications, Second Edition} by

26
Jeffrey Holt. You must have a WebAssign code to complete the homework. This

27
code gives access to a electronic version of the book. Dr. Andrew Loveless

28
wrote some really detailed instructions on WebAssign here:

31
\textbf{Objectives}

32


33
The goal of this course is to introduce students to matrix algebra. Topics

34
include linear systems of equations, linear independence and span, linear

35
transformations, inverses, vector spaces, determinants, eigenvalues and

36
eigenvectors, and the Gram-Schmidt process.

37


38
\textbf{Grading}

39


40
The class is curved in such a way that the median score will be around a 3.0. I

41
will provide a grade estimate after each midterm.  The grades will be weighed

42
as follows:

43


44
\begin{tabular}{ l r }

45
    Category  & Weight   \\

46
    \hline

47
    Homework  & 20\%      \\

48
    Midterm 1 (Week 4 - 10/18) & 20\%      \\

49
    Midterm 2 (Week 8 - 11/15) & 20\%      \\

50
    Final (12/14)    & 40\%

51
\end{tabular}

52


53
\textbf{Homework}

54


55
There will be 2 types of homework in this class. The Webassign homework accounts

56
for 75\% of the homework grade while the worksheet homework accounts for 25\%

57
of the homework grade. I will not grant homework extensions.

58


59
The due dates for the Webassign homework will be posted on the Webassign page.

60
I will add 5\% to your Webassign grade unless you're above 95\%.

61


62
I will post the worksheet homework on the class webpage. It'll be graded based

63
on completion. You will turn it in in class.

64


65
\textbf{Exams}

66


67
You are allowed the Ti-30x IIS calculator and a single sheet of 2-sided

68
handwritten self written notes.

69


70
\textbf{Makeup Exams}

71


72
There will be no makeup exams.

73


74
In the case of religious holidays or participation in certain university

75
sponsored events, arrangements must be made as soon as possible. Otherwise, I

76
will excuse you from an exam only in unavoidable, compelling, and

77
well-documented circumstances. If you are extremely sick, you must bring me a

78
doctor's note that states you were incapable of taking the quiz or exam. If you

79
are excused from a midterm, your other midterm and final will be weighed more

80
heavily.

81


82
If you are not excused and you miss an exam, you will receive a zero.
