\textbf{WebAssign/Book}

23


24
We will use \textit{Linear Algebra with Applications, Second Edition} by

25
Jeffrey Holt. You need a WebAssign access code to complete the homework. You

26
can obtain this through the bookstore.

\textbf{Objectives}

29


30
The goal of this course is to introduce students to matrix algebra. Topics

31
include linear systems of equations, linear independence and span, linear

32
transformations, inverses, vector spaces, determinants, eigenvalues and

33
eigenvectors, and the Gram-Schmidt process.

34


35
\textbf{Grading}

36


37
The class is curved in such a way that the median score will be around a 3.0.

38
The grades will be weighed as follows:

39


40
\begin{tabular}{ l r }

41
    Category  & Weight   \\

42
    \hline

43
    Homework  & 20\%      \\

44
    Midterm 1 (Week 4 - 4/20) & 20\%      \\

45
    Midterm 2 (Week 8 - 5/18) & 20\%      \\

46
    Final (Final Week - Jun 7)    & 40\%

47
\end{tabular}

\textbf{Homework}

50


51
The homework is done through Webassign. The due dates for the Webassign

52
homework will be posted on the Webassign page. I will add 5\% to your

53
Webassign grade unless you are above a 95\%. In that case, you will receive a

54
100\%.

55


56
\textbf{Exams}

57


58
You are allowed the Ti-30x IIS calculator and a single sheet of 2-sided

59
handwritten self written notes.

60


61
\textbf{Makeup Exams}

62


63
There will be no makeup midterm.

64


65
In the case of religious holidays or participation in certain university

66
sponsored events, arrangements must be made as soon as possible. Otherwise, I

67
will excuse you from an exam only in unavoidable, compelling, and

68
well-documented circumstances. If you are extremely sick, you must bring me a

69
doctor's note that states you were incapable of taking the quiz or exam. If you

70
are excused from a midterm, your other midterm and final will be weighed more

71
heavily. If you are excused from final, you will receive an incomplete and will

72
take a makeup final the following quarter.

73


74
If you are not excused and you miss an exam, you will receive a zero.
