Syllabus, Texts, Grading
PREREQUISITES:
- The prerequisites for this course are Math 300 (Linear Algebra I)
and Math 301 (On Solid Ground: Sets and Proof).
TEXT:
- Required: LINEAR ALGEBRA, by Friedberg, Insel, Spence, 4th Edition.
- In the text, we will cover most of Chapters 1-2, 4-5, and part of 6.
EXAMS:
- There will be three 75 min. Exams (100 points each) during the semester, each given a letter grade for your convenience.
- There may be some announced 25 min. Quizzes.
- The FINAL EXAM (150 points) will be held in our usual classroom, 5:45-7:45 pm, on Monday Dec. 14, 2009.
HOMEWORK:
- A list of suggested homework problems will be posted here. Selected problems will be collected and graded.
- For homework use only one side of standard 8½ x 11 paper. When due, put it on my desk at the start of class.
- Late assignments of any kind are NOT accepted, except by prior arrangement.
GRADES:
- 70% -- 3 Exams (100 pts each) and Final Exam (150 pts)
- 30% -- Homework and Quizzes
- I use grading software to provide grade reports. At the end of the semester before the Final Exam is recorded, I will drop your "most damaging" score. However, the Final Exam cannot be dropped.
NOTES:
- You will be proving many theorems in this course. So, you must discuss proofs with your classmates and me if you are to do well.
- You will not be able to do every suggested problem. But to succeed, you must try a good number.
