Text:
Linear Algebra Done Right,
2nd Edition, by Sheldon Axler, Springer.
Course Objectives:
This second course in Linear Algebra will provide a more abstract study of Vector Spaces, and Linear
Transformations between Vector Spaces. Topics include vector spaces and subspaces, direct sums, linear
(in)dependence, basis, dimension, null space, range, invertibility of linear transformations, linear operators and eigenvalues/eigenvectors; inner product spaces, orthogonality, linear functionals and adjoints, self-adjoint and normal operators, and the spectral theorem.
Topics:
We will cover most of chapters 1,2,3 and 5,6 and 7 of the text.
Grading:
Course grades will be determined by your performance on weekly or biweekly graded HW problems and 3 in class exams.
HW is due at the BEGINNING of class on the due date. Late HW is not accepted.
Make-up tests can only be given in emergencies, and should be
accompanied by appropriate documentation (doctor's note etc).
Also, 24 hours before an exam, I will stop answering any questions you have regarding the material. This includes questions by email..
The weights are: 1/3 for all HW (equal weights for each HW), 2/3 for all exams
(equal weights for each exam).
Grading Scale (maximum of 100%):
A: [>=85%] B+: [76-84%] B: [70-75%] C+: [65-69%] C: [60-64%] D+: [55-59%] D: [50-54%] E: [<50%]
