Matrix Theory and Applications,
by Darald Hartfiel ;
CRC Press, 2001.
This course deals with the core topics of linear algebra that are
essential to its use in contemporary mathematics, applied
mathematics, engineering, and sciences. Topics include real
and complex vector spaces, linear transformations, eigenvalues
and eigenvectors, canonical forms for matrices, matrix
calculus, normed vector spaces, normal matrices. Applications
in difference and differential equations are also covered.

Hourly examinations
There will be one 1:20 minute in-class midterm examination during the semester.
This is scheduled for October 15.
Final examination
There will be a comprehensive final examination on
December 3 from 11:30-- 2:00pm.
Make-ups
If you miss a test due to a documented
illness, family emergency or other extreme circumstance, the weight of
your remaining grades will be adjusted to compensate provided I receive
a written excuse within a reasonable amount of time
after the missed test.
Calculators
No programmable or Graphic calculators are allowed in the
tests. Only basic calculators are allowed.
If the calculator costs more than $15, you are buying the wrong calculator.
Assignments
I will give assignments nearly every week,
to be turned in for grading. This average will count 35% of
your grade. Your assignment must be neatly written with appropriate
discussions and stapled. Do not fold it or include it in envelope.
Course grading
Each student's grade will be based on the individual grades
from exams and assignments. The approximate percentage weights
are as follows:
