Textbook:

Linear Algebra by Kenneth Hoffman and Ray Kunze, Second Edition, Prentice Hall.

Material to Cover

  1. Essentially, the whole book will be covered.

General Organization:

  1. Online Course Manager and Homework: I use a online course manager for various reasons: You will need to know the following:
    1. We post grades (of quizes and tests) online.
    2. Sometimes I give homework online (not really sure) that you will have to submit online.
    3. You can access your online homework through the Student Login Page.
    4. You will need to know your KUID, Password, Line Number and Semester.
    5. I will assign your Lastname as password. First letter will be capitalized. Remember to change your password.
    6. Each Homework will have a due date. Before the due date you can resubmit your homework as many times as you want. After the midnight of the due date you will only be able to view the homework but not resubmit.
    7. You will also be able to see your grades online.
  2. If you are a USER of Blackboard, you will receive emails from me on regular basis.

Grading Scheme:

Homework None
A Number of Tests/Final
  1. Each Problem is worth 10 points.
  2. Usually, there will be one Takehome test at the end of each Chapter.
  3. There may a midterm (100 Points) and there WILL be a Final (100 Point).
