MATH 3130-003: Introduction to Linear AlgebraFall 2016MWF 12:00-12:50 pm, MUEN 432SyllabusCourse description: Examines basic properties of systems of linear equations, vector spaces, inner products, linear independence, dimension, linear transformations, matrices, determinants, eigenvalues, eigenvectors and diagonalization. Credit not granted for this course and MATH 3135 or APPM 3310. Prerequisites: MATH 2300 or APPM 1360 (minimum grade C-). Homework and Quizzes: There will be regularly assigned homework and quizzes. As a rule, quizzes will take place in the last 10 minutes of Monday lectures, and homework will be due on Wednesdays (by the beginning of the lecture). No late homework will be accepted. The two lowest homework scores and quiz scores won't count towards the final grade. No make-up will be given for homework or quizzes. Exams: There will be one mid-term exam:
If you miss the final for reasons that are beyond your control, and you have a passing grade for the rest of the course (i.e., for homework, quizzes, and midterm), then you may request a grade of `Incomplete'. The eligibility criteria and the procedure are described in the Incomplete Agreement Policy on the web page of the Academic Advising Center. Limits of Collaboration: I recommend that you first attempt to solve the homework problems alone, using only your textbooks and your notes. If you need more help, you may consult other books or persons (including me). However, I require that you write your homework solutions unaided.
Your final grade will be determined by the scores of your homework, quizzes, mid-term exam, and final exam. To combine these items the following weights will be used:
