The text:
Ben Noble and James W. Daniel,
Applied Linear Algebra, 3nd Edition,
Prentice-Hall, 1988, will be treated as supplementary to TeX'ed
class notes (chapters 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, 10, 11, 12; background, index).
Other textbooks I seriously considered are:
- G. Strang, Linear algebra and its applications, 3rd ed, Harcourt, Brace,
Jovanovich, 1988;
Math library Reserve collection
- S. Axler, Linear Algebra done right, 2nd ed, Springer-Verlag, 1997;
Math library, QA184 A96 1997 (eventually in their reserve collection)
- Steven J. Leon, Applied Linear Algebra with applications, 4th ed.,
Macmillan,
1994;
Math library Reserve collection
- Jim Olsen came up with the following
web-source.
- Computing assignments (and
in-class demos) will be in MATLAB,
available in the
Mathematics InfoLab,
VV B101, but also on machines in Engineering, Computer Science, ...
- While there is a MATLAB hand-out (Kermit Sigmon's MATLAB
Primer, 3rd Edition) available at DoIT (look for CS 525 handout #2), I
intend to rely on MATLAB's extensive on-line help facilities.
- Course Overview,
in postscript and in
pdf format.
- Assignments (and policies concerning them)
(assignment 1, due 18sep),
(assignment 2, due 25sep),
(assignment 3, due 02oct),
(assignment 4, due 09oct),
(assignment 5, due 16oct),
(assignment 6, due 23oct),
(assignment 7, due 06Nov),
(assignment 8, due 13nov),
(assignment 9, due 27nov),
