Syllabus

Text: Elementary Linear Algebra (8th edition), Howard Anton (required) (The applications version will be used but the other version is acceptable.)

Homework: You will do regular assignments and occasional application assignments. You should be prepared to discuss and ask questions about the homework. A teaching assistant/grader will have regular hours in the Math Clinic. I will be available to meet with you individually or in groups. You will be required to read chapters and do problems in the applications section of the book.

Grading:

• Homework and Classwork: 10%
• Each Exam and Final: 22.5%

Important Dates:

February 12     Graph Theory Application, p. 596 problems 1-7
February 26      Exam 1
March 12         Game Theory Application, p. 606 problems 1-5
April 2              Exam 2
April 30            Exam 3
May 7            Application of your choice (extra credit)
May 13           Final Exam (7pm)

Chapter 3: Chapter 3 will not be covered in detail since the material is done in Math 112 and 211. You should read it over before we cover chapter 4. I have included practice problems from chapter 3 at the end of the homework list.
