Text: Applied Linear Algebra , by
Peter J. Olver and Chehrzad Shakiban.
We will cover most of Chapters 1 through 5, 7, and 8.
Additional sections will be covered as time permits. This book is on two-hour/overnight
reserve at the Math-Physics Library.
Grading:
Your course grade will be determined from
homework and class participation (100 points ),
two midterms (100 points each) and final exam (150 points).
Approximate grade lines will be
A- --- 90% and above
B- --- 80% and above
C- --- 70% and above
D --- 60% and above
Any adjustments made to this scale will be in the students' favor.
Exams: There will be two midterm (in-class) exams and a comprehensive final exam.
There will be no make-up exams or early exams. If you are sick during a
unit exam, please bring a note from your doctor verifying your illness.
Your course grade will then be determined by the rest of your course work.
Homework:
To do well in this course come to the lectures and do (and understand) the
homework. Ask questions. Late homework will be penalized and will not
be accepted after the answers have been posted. Selected problems will be graded.
While you are allowed, and encouraged, to work on
homework problems with your classmates, the work you turn in to be
graded must be your own.
Special Accommodations:
If you qualify for accommodations because of a disability,
please submit to me a letter from Disability Services in a timely
manner, so that your
needs may be addressed.
Disability Services
determines accommodations based on documented disabilities.

Religious Observances Campus policy regarding
religious observances requires that faculty make every
effort to reasonably and fairly deal with all students who, because of
religious obligations, have conflicts with scheduled exams, assignments or
required attendance. In this class, please let your instructor know of any conflict
at least two weeks in advance.
Academic Honesty: Students may discuss homework problems
with each other. However, all work turned in must be your own.
Violation of the
CU Student Honor Code will result in
a course grade of F.
