In this class we will study some basic skills in linear algebra. The best

way to learn mathematics is to DO it. That means attending theclass regularly; carefully studying the material covered in class; studying thesolved problems in the book; diligently doing all the homework prob-lems, and more if time permits, showing all work and steps as

shown in class; reviewing the material covered in class regularly;

and reading ahead. It helps to read (study!) the sections to be discussedbeforecoming to class! It will save you a lot of time if you study your classnotes before you start doing your homework. You will understand mathe-matics a lot better if you have paper and pencil at hand and keep the pencilmoving while studying mathematics! The pace in the summer session is much

faster than that in a regular semester, so you cannot afford to miss class orfall behind schedule.

Your grade will be based on three in-class exams, each worth 100 points.Homework will be assigned in class and collected just about every Thursdayfor grading. Calculators will neither be needed nor allowed on the exams.

I wish that all of you enjoy this class!

(i) There will be no make-up for any exam so make sure you take yourexams at the scheduled times. Under no circumstances will any studentbe allowed to take any exam earlier than scheduled.

(ii) Any questions about the grading of any of the midterm exams must bebrought to the attention of the instructor within one week of the daythe exam is handed back.
