Announcements:

Every Tuesday is held the Mathematics Undergraduate Colloquium at 12:55pm. I enjoin you to attend them as they will show you connections between different areas of Maths, and also will show you some applications of them.
The next one is actually directly related to our course: David Vogan, MIT, will present "Diagonalizing Group Actions" in LCB 121 (this is not the usual room) on 09/28.

Monday 11/01 there will be no lecture, instead we will do a lab session in LCB 115 at the regular hours.

Office hours

Mondays: 2:00pm-3:00pm
Wednesdays: 3:00pm-4:00pm

Appointments can be made (send me an email), I will prefer to meet you on Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

Exams

First midterm will be held Monday 10/04. Program: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3: sections 1 and 2 (in those sections I will only test you on kernels and images of linear maps, and on linear subspaces, no linear independance, no bases). Moreover you will be allowed to bring one sheet of notes.

You can find the solutions for the first midterm here in postscript format and in pdf format.

Second midterm will be held Wednesday 11/17. Program: until chapter 5, section 2 (Only Gram-Scmidt process, no QR-factorization). This exam will last 1h30mn.

Moreover you will be allowed to bring one sheet of notes.

Maple section (grab projects and other work sheets here):

Here you can find the introduction work sheet for Monday 11/01 lab session.
Here you can find the introduction work sheet to the project (here in  html format if you just want be able to read through it), and the project work sheet (here in  html format if you just want be able to read through it).
To complete your project, just use the introduction work sheet as a template, and modify what is necessary.
You can turn in the maple project until the last day of class in December, and you can either turn it in just by sending the file in attachment at allaud@math.utah.edu (if you choose to do that, please give this file a name made up from your lastname and the first letter of your first name, example, I would have a file name allaude.mw) or on paper.
You can find a tutorial about linear algebra with Maple (though Maple help is also a great way to learn it): here as a maple work sheet, here in pdf format.

Practice exams (here I will put everything I think is relevant to prepare you for the exams)

Here is the first practice exam in postscript format and in pdf format. Remark: exercise 6 is not in the exam program (I will not ask you anything about linear independance and bases in the exam).
You can find the solutions here in postscript format and in pdf format.

Here is the second practice exam in postscript format and in pdf format.

The final is comprehensive it includes all chapters from 1 to 7 (up to section 7.4);  there will be an emphasis on the last part of the lectures though. The following are excluded:

To prepare your final: there is no practice exam, but a good way to review is to use the 2 previous practices and tests. Moreover here are some exercises that you can do (I put a lot of exercises here, you can just pick a few of each type for example) (I will do some of these in class Wed 12/8 for chapters 5.4, 5.5, 7):
