Our second exam was held on Thursday, October 22, in class.
Our second problem set was due by the end of the day on Tuesday, October 22.
The following is a curated selection of practice materials from our Linear Algebra Course Materials page:
Ideally, one should get far more practice than these problem sets offer. Your best bet is to look at the course materials for previous semesters, many of which include solutions, and work as many similar problems as you can. Use your judgment in determining which past course materials are relevant:
A personalized copy of your assignment has been placed in your Courseworks Drop Box for this course. That copy includes a bar code identifying you and the problem, so that your work can be scanned, graded, and returned to you as a PDF file.
Please print your homework out on standard 8.5 x 11 printer paper. Please staple your work, to keep the pages in your intended order. I will cut off the stapled corner before scanning.
Your homework may be handed in online via your CourseWorks Drop Box, or before or after class, or submitted via the homework box for our class. Our homework box is on the fourth floor of the Mathematics building, on the left as one walks toward my office, 426 Math. I will return your work to you as a scanned and graded PDF file.
Pen or pencil is fine, and colors are fine. Your writing needs to be dark enough to be legible when scanned. Please don’t use pencil that smudges easily, or leave eraser crumbs. Don’t crumble or fold your pages. Do not use alternate paper, such as three ring binder paper, other flimsy or oddly sized paper, or pages torn from a spiral notebook.
If you would like to submit your homework online, please scan your work and upload .jpg or .pdf files to your CourseWorks Drop Box. If you do so, provide scans of a similar quality to my solutions above: 8.5 x 11, not twisted with respect to the page borders, and of sufficient resolution for your writing and the bar code to be clearly legible.
You may use a phone or tablet app intended for scanning, or a campus copier that scans, or a dedicated scanner. I can work with anything I can read; even if a scan makes me grimace, I am happy to save you the walk across campus. My one requirement is that the edges of your paper align with the edges of your scan. Dedicated scanning apps will do this; ordinary cameras will not.
Do not return homework by email; I do not have an automated way to organize files received by email.
