Linear Algebra and its Applications
The book we adopt in this class ``Elementary Linear Algebra'' by Howard Anton and Chris Rorres which can be downloaded from http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/undergrad/ughandbook/content/ma106/elementary_linear_algebra_10th_edition.pdf. The slides of the lectures can be found below.
We will cover chapters 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10.
Grade The final grade will be computed as follows: Homework contribute 10 percent, the midterm exams 25 percent each, and the final exam 40 percent.
Homework Assignments Homework assignments are indispensable for a good understanding of the material. Mathematics is actually more about understanding than about memorizing. You are strongly encouraged to work all of them out.

Remarks about the Homemork
You are required to solve at least one problem per section in order to get the 10%.
Homework will be assigned every Sunday and collected one week later.
Each assigned homework will have equal weight in the final homework score.
Homework assignments will not be graded and you will automatically get 10% of the final grade if you turn them in.
Late homework will not be accepted under any circumstances.
Please print your name, staple your homework, and write down the homework number.
Remarks about the Exams
Solutions for the midterm exams will be posted on the web.
No makeup exams. A missed exam counts as zero points.
Use of books, notes, and calculators will not be allowed on any exam.
