This page contains information on:
Do not do the crossed ones and have a great Thanksgiving, enjoy the Turkey :)`
Homeworks will be assigned regularly and will be collected every Thursday before class starts. Selected problems will be graded and a final score equivalent to one test, 100 points, will be assigned.
Homework is an essential component of the course, and your success will depend largely on how much time and effort you spend on working on the homework assignments.
No late homeworks will be accepted.
As for formatting, be sure that your name is at the top of each page, that all multi-page assignments are stapled, and that your writing is clear and legible.
This course may be your first course in mathematics that really requires a substantial amount of explanation (rather than mere calculation) to get an answer correct. Thus, you will be graded on your ability to communicate your understanding of the problems (as well as, of course, the correct solution). Throughout the semester, and in the first couple of weeks in particular, I will go in more detail as to what I expect in various scenarios.
There will be occasional in class quizzes. These quizzes will be based entirely on problems from your homework, or problems we work on in class lectures. The quizzes will be graded and averaged into your 100 point homework score.
There will be 3 in class exams scheduled throughout the semester. Each of these exams will be scored out of 100 points.
We will have a comprehensive final exam which will be worth 200 total points.
Homeworks and quizzes are equivalent to one test, i.e. 100 points.
Soooo the total numer of points available on test and homework is 600.

Otherwise, you may just explain without proof. MATLAB: - Input the matrices A = [-3, 4, 0; 1, -1, 5] and B = [1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6; 7, 8, 9]. Try to compute A * B and B * A. One of these multiplications does not work; why not? - Find the transpose of A by typing A' (i.e. A followed by an apostrophe). Com- pute C = A * A' and D = A' * A. Notice that these are not the same matrix! They are both symmetric, though. - Compute B * D and D * B. Notice that matrix multiplication is not commutative. - Try to take the matrix powers A^2 and B^2. Notice that you can't square A because it's not square. Compute B^3 and B^4. - Compute B^0 and B^-1, then compute B * B^-1. What is the significance of the matrix B^-1? |
