Tuesdays and Thursdays 2:30pm - 3:50pm in Library E4310,

Here are pdf files with slides for some of the lectures. These files are designed for viewing on a computer screen. Don't print them, because each contains more than one hundred pages, most of which differ from the next page by a single line.

• Lecture 5   Spans, linear independence and bases.
• Lecture 6   Dimension, linear maps, null space and range.
• Lecture 7   Vector spaces of linear maps, isomorphisms, linear maps from $\mathbb F^n$.
• Lecture 8   Midterm 1, coordinate systems, matrices, right-left classification of linear maps.

Homeworks are assigned once a week. Problems should be handed in your recitation section.

1. Page 11, Problems 1, 10, 11; Page 17, Problems 1, 2 Due the week of January 29.
