This course is the second of a two-semester sequence on linear algebra (following Math 2210).

Homework sets will be announced on this page each week. The homework will not be collected. However, questions related each problem set will appear in weekly quizzes, usually given each Thursday (see below for weekly details). Additional take-home quizzes may be occasionally assigned. The homework will account for the most substantial part of your learning, so you should take the homework very seriously. If you do the homework you will also find the quizzes and exams much easier.

Quizzes are open book, open notes.

Exams are not open book (see below).

Calculators not permitted during quizzes or exams in this course.

Attendance policy: Attendance will not be taken, but you are of course responsible for everything covered in every class. There will be no make-ups for missed quizzes. Instead I will drop the lowest quiz score for each student. Make-ups for exams require official documentation (doctor's note, letter from coach regarding away games, letter from the Dean of Students, etc.).

Academic Integrity: Academic dishonesty is prohibited in all programs of the University, and sanctions may be imposed on any student who commits an act of academic dishonesty. Details on UML policy can be found here.

Examinations: There will be three exams and a final exam. Exams are closed book. However, you are allowed to bring one double-sided 8.5" x 11" sheet of notes.

Homework assignments will be announced weekly on this page. Check periodically for updates.
