Course description

This course provides an introduction to linear algebra.

Prerequisites

You MUST have passed MAT 021C (or an equivalent course) with a grade of C- or higher. No students whose highest grade in MAT 021C is a D or F will qualify to take this course.

Experience with MATLAB is a necessary component of this course. Unless you have already completed ENG 6, you must enroll in MAT 022AL, the 1 credit lab supplement to MAT 022A. If you register with ENG 6 concurrently with MAT 022A, you are still required to enroll in MAT 022AL concurrently.

Support Workshops from the Academic Assistance and Tutoring Centers: Tuesday/Thursday 3:10 to 4:00 pm in 3218 Dutton (starting October 1)

Questions

There are three ways to ask questions:

Lectures:

If you do not understand something in class, ask a question! There is a good chance that 20 other students have the same question. Students who actively participate in class are significantly more likely to learn the material well and do better on exams.

Office hours:

The TAs and the professor hold office hours each week. These are a chance for you to ask questions about linear algebra!

Piazza:

There will be a Piazza site for the course. This is an opportunity for you to ask questions about linear algebra to the entire class. Students who are active in answering questions on Piazza will be eligible for 1 extra credit point at the end of the course.

Do NOT send questions about linear algebra via email to the professors or the TAs. Mathematics questions must be asked in office hours, lectures, or on Piazza.

Do NOT send general questions like ``when is the midterm?'' ``how will grades be calculated?'' etc. via email to the professors or the TAs. These questions can be asked on Piazza or be answered by reading the syllabus or course website.
