General Expectations: The Math Department's general expectations of students.

Text: The text for this course is Linear Algebra and Differential Equations by Peterson and Sochacki, Addison-Wesley, 2002. We will cover most of the first 6 chapters.

Midterms and Final: Course grades will be based on homework, two midterms, and a final. The Final will be comprehensive, and will be on Thursday, May 12 from 9:45 to 11:45.

Homework: Exercises for homework will be assigned each week and collected on Thursdays. They will be returned the following week. In addition to the assigned problems students are expected to do an appropriate amount of "drill and practice" on their own in order to become proficient with the concepts and techniques introduced in class. The odd numbered problems generally have answers in the back of the book. If you are unable to understand how the book got its answer, it is your responsibility to find out: see the instructor or TA in his office, or visit the tutor room (PSB 315) for assistance or work with your fellow students. For the homework to be turned in, it is acceptable to work together, but each person should independently write up his/her own work.
